SAM - LABRADOR RETRIEVER / AUSTRALIAN CATTLE DOG/BLUE HEELER / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Labrador Retriever / Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler / Mixed. Meet Sam, a 63-pound, almost 2-year-old Labrador Retriever/Blue Heeler mix with a soft heart and an incredibly gentle spirit. Sam is house trained, sleeps beautifully in his crate overnight, and is easy to walk on leash aside from the occasional squirrel sighting. Sam is a sensitive boy and can be skittish during home transitions until he learns to feel safe. He will follow you around the house like a loving shadow, but when things feel too busy or overwhelming, he retreats to his safe space. Loud noises and sudden movements can startle him, and because of this, a calm, predictable home will help him thrive and he would do best in a home with older children over the age of 12 who can understand and respect his sensitivities. Despite his nervousness, Sam is incredibly affectionate once he feels comfortable. He loves being spoken to, enjoys quiet snuggles on the couch, and is a wonderful work-from-home companion. His sweetness shines through in everything he does. With other dogs, Sam is neutral but likes to enjoy his toys and chews on his own, like a little treasure-keeper, so he would do best with a family and dog pal that will respect his space. Sam has not had the opportunity to meet cats yet so his acceptance of a feline friend is unknown. Sam is looking for a patient adopter who can offer stability and a peaceful environment. In return, he will give you loyal companionship, soft affection, and the tender love of a dog who just wants to be close to his person. The adoption fee for Sam is $500. That includes the cost of spaying/neutering, up to date vaccinations, foster care, rescue and transportation fees.
