Additional Notes

Sam, 14 months

Looking for: Long-term commitment, unlimited enrichment, and someone who doesn’t mind sharing snacks they definitely thought were out of reach.

Hi, I’m Sam — a 14-month-old Golden Retriever with big feelings, bigger energy, and the confidence of a dog who’s never once questioned a decision.

About me:
– Working type = I don’t believe in “just chilling”
– Very intelligent (unfortunately for my future owners)
– Built for adventure, not decorative living room vibes
– Massive dog person — always keen to network
– Strong interests include: jobs, tasks, enrichment, and creating my own if none are provided

My love language? Attention. Any attention. Sometimes that means enthusiastic greetings, dramatic attempts to be involved in everything, and occasionally using my mouth to express my thoughts (working on it).

Skills include:
– Learning quickly
– Recall… unless something more interesting exists
– Greeting visitors like they’ve returned from war
– Counter surfing with Olympic potential
– Convincing you I’ve never been fed
– Keeping life exciting

Looking for someone who:
• Has experience with dogs (or at least appreciates a strong independent thinker)
• Likes positive reinforcement and doesn’t believe in “alpha” nonsense
• Understands boundaries are a concept I’m still exploring
• Wants a dog who’s less “Netflix and chill” and more “ultramarathon and puzzle feeder”

Hard launches only please:
– No cats or small animals
– No tiny humans
– Older teens considered
– Active humans strongly preferred
