About this Dog
Hi everyone,
My name is Sammy. I'm a super energetic yellow lab and looking for someone who can keep up with my playful needs. I just turned three years old, so I have a ton of energy and require a lot of exercise and attention. I haven't had much experience out in public or around other dogs. I've spent most of my life at home with my stay-at-home, retired Dad playing in my fenced in yard and chasing squirrels. Just recently, my Dad had an accident and things have been changing rapidly. A lot of nice people have been helping, but I'm hoping to find a stable family who will slowly introduce me to all the things I haven't had a chance to see, and the patience to correct me when I get a little out of line.
I like to cuddle and snuggle when I sleep, but I need to get to know you before I feel safe. Sometimes I feel like I have to act tough but it's just a front. I'm just a little weary of things I haven't experienced, like children, cats, or other dogs. I haven't had the most "normal" life so far, but who has? I'm really hoping people won't give up on me. I need someone willing to take it slow and take the time to get to know me. I can be super sweet, but I'm not letting down my defenses without you proving you care about me. Once I know I can trust you, I'm not letting go.
Full disclosure, I've had some issues lately with my right eye and had to wear this weird cone for a couple weeks. The good thing is, I saw a whole bunch of nice doctors at Tufts Hospital that said I could take off the cone! They gave me some new meds and I'm feeling a lot better and more like myself again. I'm hoping to find someone that can help administer my medicine and bring me for my checkups. I know that not everyone has the time or funds to help in my situation, but I am hopeful the right people will be willing to make me part of their family.
In return I'm willing to give you my unconditional love for all my days. Deal?
Forever yours, Sammy

Adopt Sammy and Receive Sammy's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Sammy's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.

How will Sammy receive the contribution?
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Sammy, thank you for providing a home and a loving family! Please begin the process of claiming Sammy's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Sammy was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Sammy’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
What happens to unclaimed funds?
We want the Sammy’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Sammy’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
