About this Dog
Sammy's foster reports:`He was a very nervous and fearful dog when we first brought him into our home from the shelter, it took a couple of weeks for him to settle in and start really coming out of his shell. Pulling him from the shelter was definitely what he needed. We have been calling him `Sammy`, which is responding to and getting trained with.He is definitely a social dog with animals more than humans, he bonded with our own dogs rather quickly. He plays well with monitored canine socials, loves toys with squeakers and loves to run. He gets along with my cats. He will respect the boundaries of my more timid cat and plays well with my more adventurous cat. We are now working on training his basic commands since he has become less fearful with us and learning what is a chew toy and what is not (current affinity is for the tv remote). He walks very well on a leash. We are continually work on socialization with new humans to try to help him with his fearful nature. He is becoming a little more snuggly with us and will even jump on our bed for short periods to get head snuggles. Thankfully, he has never showed any signs of fear aggression, he typically just melts into the floor or runs away if approached too quickly. His confidence really comes out with other dogs around, so I believe it will be necessary for him to be adopted to a home with at least one other dog.`

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.
$0.0 is *SAMMY's current balance
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.
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!
