About this Dog
Lewistown, PA Meet Sam – Your New Adventure Buddy! Say hello to Sam, a young Golden Retriever–Labrador mix bursting with love, energy, and a whole lot of goofy charm! This handsome guy has spent most of his life in a crate, so he’s making up for lost time with zoomies, tail wags, and big-hearted snuggles. Sam is a high-energy pup who’s looking for an active family that’s ready to help him grow into the amazing dog he’s meant to be. He’s smart, eager to please, and will thrive with basic training, structure, and lots of playtime. What Sam needs: A dog-savvy, energetic family ready for adventures Older kids (he’s still mouthy and working on manners) No cats please – we believe he may be a little too interested in them A fun-loving dog buddy to play and wrestle with Patience, love, and consistency as he adjusts to real freedom If you’re ready for a loyal companion who will make you laugh, keep you on your toes, and curl up beside you after a day of play, Sam might just be your guy. Let’s get Sam the fresh start he deserves. Apply to adopt today and give this love bug the forever home he’s been waiting for!

Adopt Sam and Receive Sam'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, Sam's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Sam's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Sam, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Sam'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 Sam was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Sam’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Sam’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, Sam’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!
