About SAM

Lab
Age: Young Adult
Sex: Male

[Read About Natural Seizure Care] Meet Sam! He is a 2-year old Lab who is looking for a family that will give him the attention and love that he deserves. Vaccinations up to date. Sam is one of the happiest, most loving dogs that I've ever met, despite his past life. At 2-weeks old, an adult dog slammed Sam's head to the ground and he sustained a neck injury. The backyard breeder was ready to kill him because of his injury, until a family member stepped in to take him. He was taken from his mother at only 5 weeks old, and has been neglected & abused for the past two years. Sam was living in a pen outside, would go without necessary medication causing him to have multiple seizures, and was just a blob of a dog who never got to do anything. Sam is partially blind, and lacks certain motor skills, making standing on slippery surfaces difficult for him. He has improved drastically over the past three weeks that I've had him! He is epileptic, and needs to be medicated two times a day to keep his seizures under control. He hasn't had a single seizure with me. Sam doesn't let these challenges stop him; he is such a smart boy with a lot of love to give. He loves all people, dogs, loves learning new things, playing tug, and he enjoys swimming. Sam is crate-trained, house-trained, walks well on a leash, lets me file his nails, and is very receptive to training. He needs a family who will keep up with training post-adoption, & he needs to continue losing some weight.
