Sam ~ male Lab x puppy (on trial 12/1/17)

Sam is a beautiful, black, 10 week old Labrador x puppy with a distinctive white strip on his nose.

Playful, smart, and cuddly, he is making fast progress with basic obedience and toilet training. He has mastered "sit", and knows his name.

Sam sleeps inside, but spends his awake hours playing in the yard. He is playful, smart, and loves attention. He has a lot of fun playing fetch and running around with his brother Ollie, and his foster sister and carers. He is happy to be around other dogs and has met a range of people with no problems, but has not be tested with pocket pets or chickens. He would benefit from having another dog as a companion or an owner who can spend a lot of time with him as he can become talkative if he gets bored.

Sam will grow up to be a large dog. We always recommend puppy-training classes to give your new family member the best start in life. All dogs and puppies need plenty of affection, exercise, and training.

It would be a big plus if you have a friendly adult dog as a teacher, companion and playmate for Sam. If you don't have another dog to keep him company, then there needs to be someone in the household that doesn't work full time.

Sam needs to be welcome inside when people are home, and to sleep inside at least until fully grown. He will be wonderful family dog and is suitable for children 8 years and older. You need good fencing with no small gaps. He can't go to rural fencing (eg: mesh or wire).

Sam's brother Ollie is also available for adoption.

As Sam is not yet desexed, he is only available for adoption to Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, Central Coast and Port Stephens because he'll need to be returned to our vet for desexing when he's approximately 5 months old.
