ADOPTED!
Happy Saturday Friends! Like us, we bet you're shocked that Sam is still looking for an adoptive home. He has not had much interest in spite of 2 posts and all of your shares. This means, we need to hit our share buttons again so the adopter he was meant to have, sees him! Will you please join us in helping Sam? Thank you all so much!
Sam is a big handsome boy! At 85 pounds, Sam needs someone capable of handling his size. He is guessed to be about 11 years old. We are told people are always surprised when they hear that Sam is 11 years old. He acts like a youngster when it snows, catching snowballs in his mouth. He loves to be outside, to play and goes for walks twice a day. While he can be frisky, Sam also knows when to "chill"; he loves to nap and hang out with his humans.
Sam would love to be your one and only and by that, we mean a home without other animals-no cats, other dogs, farm animals. No dog park visits for Sam. Sam should not be around young children. Sam loves his adult humans but he has been afraid of some men, it is very specific to middle aged-older men with facial hair that smoke. Sam's family is willing to share more specific information with potential adopters; their goal is to find him the best possible home where he will be most happy.
Sam's new home should have a secure, fenced yard as he will take off exploring when he's not leashed. Sam will bark to let you know when a delivery has arrived but for the most part we're told his Bark Busters training has stuck with him. This is a very smart boy who knows some verbal commands.
Recently Sam's vet noted he has a touch of arthritis. Like most dogs his age, Sam's hearing and vision aren't as sharp as they once were. Prior to COVID, Sam was accustomed to staying alone. He could manage quite a few hours without needing a potty break. Sam does not appreciate crates or being enclosed in small spaces. One should expect that Sam will need time to acclimate to a new home, we expect many dogs won't be happy when their humans are able to return to their full time jobs!
Sam is a sweet dog who is looking for a committed, loving home. He is located in Redmond, WA. For contact information please email: referrals@olddoghaven.org

Friends, we checked in with the nice folks at Adopt-A-Pet of Shelton Washington and they told us Magnum and Bailey Girl have had very little interest in spite of all of our shares! Will you join us today in sharing them again today? We'd love to help them find an adopter, wouldn't you?
Bailey Girl, a black mouth cur mix, age 11 and Magnum, a black lab mix age 10, are a fun, high spirited and loving couple. Bailey is the boss. She does have some difficulty chasing after Magnum now. Magnum is a huge fan of fetch and is always willing to play. His favorite accessory is a tennis ball. This darling duo enjoy walks, car rides and cuddles. They both dislike cats. A quiet home with a fenced yard big enough for fetch is preferred.
Bailey Girl and Magnum are posted for Adopt A Pet in Shelton WA. Please contact adoptapetadoptions@gmail.com if you are interested in adding this fun pair to your family.
