Say hello to Sammy! He arrived at NCCR 7/22/25, surrendered by his owner due to her own health problems when she could no longer provide care for him. Her sad loss will be some lucky person’s gain, though. Sammy is a real treasure! A 1 ½ year old Standard Poodle, this sweet boy is sure to please. Friendly, gentle, and non-shedding, there is a lot to love! He needs a little more work on his leash skills (sometimes he pulls – nobody’s perfect!), but he is dog-friendly, loves people, is house trained, loves to play with toys, and gets along with kids. As a young dog, he still needs supervision and does best when crated during the times he is left alone, and will need ongoing reinforcement to help him remember his training and good manners, but with a responsible family guiding him, Sammy will live up to his full potential – the sky’s the limit for this wonderful pup!
If you think you might be interested in adopting, your first step should be to complete an Adoption Application. *After you have completed your application, you will get a confirmation that we have received your application. It takes a lot of time to process the applications, so we ask for your patience while we do so. If you see that the dog you were interested in has been adopted it means there were many applications for that dog and we did not get as far as processing your application before a home was found. We welcome you to apply again if you see another dog that interests you. If you have a question, please email your question to adoptions@caninerescue.org. It is much easier and quicker for us to respond by email as we receive many phone calls each day.
We do adopt out of state, however we do not transport or ship dogs. Potential adopter must be able and willing to travel to the Rescue to meet the dog they are interested in.
*PLEASE double check all of the phone numbers that you provide as if they are incorrect, we will be unable to process your application. Please also let your references know that someone from NCCR will be calling them. Most adoption team members call from their personal phone so advise your references that there may be an unknown number or a private number calling them.
Sammy is sponsored by Peter Charette, Joe and Kate Greulich in honor of Sam and Sarge, Melford Swanson and by Doug and Joy Bartlett in memory of Lizzie. Thank you everyone!
