Sammy

This handsome Labradoodle is a year and a half old and in need of some love. He was surrendered by his family to A.D.O.P.T. because he needed testing for allergies. Sammy arrived with patchy areas of skin irritation and is on hypoallergenic food…we feel that many of his skin issues were due to stress in his former home. He is warming up to men but was very frightened by them at first. He goes into his crate and is quiet throughout the day. He gets along with his canine foster brothers, although has no idea how to play (which they will teach him!) He doesn’t mind the cat but would probably like to chase her if she gave him the chance. Sammy is coming out of his shell and is a “velcro dog”, meaning he likes to be near hiis humans. He is bright and learning that people can be kind and loving. He knows sit, down, walks on a leash and is working on other polite behaviors (still likes to jump up when he sees you.) We are keeping him on a hypoallergenic food to see if he has less irritation with his skin. We will do testing for allergies if needed, but at this point he is doing well. Sammy would thrive in a non-chaotic home that has the time and patience to contiue showing him some TLC. He is extremely sweet and deserves so much better than he has had. Sammy would thrive in a quiet home that has the time and patience to show him kindness. If you would like to meet Sammy, please fill out an online application.
