Update 3/1/14 - I have been with my foster family for a month now, and things are going great.  My ears are much better.  I am very quiet and a great indoor dog but also like to sit on patio in the sun when it is not so cold.  I have gained a couple of pounds so I do not look so thin. The meter reader man came in the house, and I did not jump on him at all, just followed him quietly to the basement and back up again.  I am very good with guests.

My name is Sammie.  I am a black Lab almost 7 years old and looking for a forever home.  Right now, I am staying with my foster family, and I get along great with their dog, Dakota.  I am a little timid and very, very sweet.  I behave well in the house.  I do not get into things that I shouldn't and like to chew on bones or stuffed toys.  I like to play outside but also like to curl up on a soft dog bed and relax.  I do not bark much but will yip at the back door if I have to go outside.  I am tall and a little bit thin but am eating well.  I tend to eat really fast so my fosters give me food in portions, and I sit in between to slow me down.  I also have a special segmented bowl I can use. 

I had yeast infection in my ears when I first came to LEARN but have been getting medication and having my ears cleaned so they are much better.  I am up-to-date on shots and am heartworm negative :-) .  I know sit, stay and am trying to learn some other commands.  I am a wonderful, peaceful dog and love affection.  I am healthy and have a lot of great years ahead. 

If you would like to meet/adopt me, and are already approved to adopt, please contact our LabMatch Committee at the email address in your approval letter.  Otherwise, please fill out LEARN's on-line Adoption Application and have a home visit. http://www.labadoption.org/forms/form?formid=2607&siteid=4193&contactsformsid=&verify=abc123&page=contact  Thank You!
