Hi, my name is a Sammy. I'm 13 yrs. old, weigh 70 lb, and am told I'm a handsome, purebred yellow Labrador Retriever. My former owners gave me and my sister away when they got divorced and I've been in a (very loving) foster home for over a year now.

GOOD NEWS! The Petfinder Foundation awarded us a grant to help get me adopted! The money will be used to provide a year's worth of the pain medications I need for my creaky old hips, and a year's worth of joint supplements that helps my mobility, too. The grant also covers my adoption fee.

I’m very sociable and follow our foster Mom around.

Ask about the Seniors for Seniors adoption program. Seniors are the BEST.

I am well mannered, quietly greet visitors and socialized with dogs of many sizes and breeds. I’ve never lived with cats but could meet them. I have free reign in the house day or night, and sleep on my dog bed.

I currently have a fenced back yard that only has one step to access from the kitchen, and that works great for me. I can't do stairs and I don't like invisible fencing I prefer a quieter home and absolutely require minimal stairs. I need someone who is home most of the time so I have the opportunity to go outside throughout the day and evening to do my business.

I know sit, stay, and come. I like to relax next to my fosters when it is reading or TV time. I love attention and respond with lots of tail wagging and a kiss now and then.

Please note that adopters must be within 40 miles of Rochester, NY. Please confirm you are within this range prior to submitting an application - no exceptions, so please don't bother to ask.

My adoption fee will be waived, thanks to a grant from The Petfinder Foundation.
