Description:
Please go to our website at www.milehighlabmission.com to find out more about this pet and to submit an adoption application. Please DO NOT call or email us; all information about current dogs available, adoption donations, vetting, and this specific dog are on our website. We are a non-profit organization and we are completely 100% volunteer run. We DO NOT have a shelter and only approved applicants can make appointments with our foster homes to meet the dogs we have.Our volunteers will not discuss dogs we have available for adoption UNTIL you have an application on file and are approved to adopt.General Notes | Just as the story of Sampson took many turns, so has the life of this beautiful cream Labrador Retriever. After his time as a breeder, Sampson is now ready for a new chapter defined by peace, comfort, and the loving embrace of his forever family. His strength now lies in his gentle spirit and his capacity to give and receive love. Want to adopt this dog? Please do not email us. Please fill out the Adoption Application ASAP. Personality | Sampson has been very shy since joining his new foster familiy. Story | Other Dogs | Because Sampson is timid, having another confident and calm dog around may be beneficial. While it did take him a little bit of time to warm up to her, Sampson is happy to follow the lead of his foster sister. We recommend a proper introduction with your dog.Cats | Sampson hasn't been cat tested. All of the dogs (3 of the 9) pulled from the same breeder that have been cat tested ignore the resident cats so Sampson would likely do well with a cat. Children | Sampson has not been around children, but he is shy with people in general. Training | To Sampson the world is still a new and scary place. At this point, he is still just learning how to be a dog. That being said, he is food motivated. Leash | Sampson is slowly learning that the leash is fun and not something to be afraid of. At first he would only follow his foster sister, but more recently, he did go on a short walk without her.Activity Level | Moderate. Sampson is just starting to get comfortable and be more active. He will play with toys occasionally but is still a big sleeper.Health Notes | Thank you! | Adoption Donations | Our adoption donations are $475 for dogs 8 weeks to 1 year, $425 for 1-6 years, $375 for dogs 7-10 years, and $250 for 11+ years of age. Purebred dogs regardless of age are $525. These minimum donations help to defer the costs of initial vet care, food, and supplies while in foster care that currently average over $700 per dog).Meeting Dogs | Foster dogs may have meet & greets by appointment to approved applicants only. To become an approved applicant - please complete the application process.Please know | Available dogs are updated as soon as possible and we do our best to keep it up-to-date, but occasionally dogs shown may become unavailable without notice due to a pending adoption.We encourage you to put in an application even if you don't see your new family member currently, as once you are approved, we can place you on the waiting list for first priority on the selection of the dogs we do bring in. That means you can often meet a dog upon transport arrival and adopt before they even make it to this page!We can not guarantee that a dog you wish to adopt is available by the time your adoption application is submitted, processed, and approved. Your application is good for one year from date of applying for any dog as long as it is a good fit for your family and your lifestyle.
