Samantha

My story

Samantha is approx. 14 mo old 50 lb female Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever/Golden Retriever mix. She has the personality/temperament of a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever and can literally catch birds in the air! She does NOT have the personality of a typical Golden Retriever. She likes other highly energetic dogs her size to play with, however, can be dog selective. Hence, best she gets adopted now as an only dog. Then you can eventually have meet /greets with another dog to bring into your home if you wish. She is affectionate and a smart very active companion for someone that is very active and has alpha Retriever experience. Who knows?...she might be able to be trained to go duck hunting? We do not know, but that is what Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retrievers were bred for. She is very energetic and loves her humans. She loves to catch birds and go swimming. She is crate trained. She will require daily walks/hikes and plenty of mental and physical exercise and continued leash training. Requires a house with a secure fenced yard. Will do best in active home without any other dogs at this time. No cats! No small dogs! No apartments! No children under 12 years of age! All adopted pups and dogs are transported to WA/OR families when fully vetted, spayed/neutered and microchipped. For information on how to adopt me, please contact my foster parents at info@dogdiggityrescue.com . L&S Dog Diggity Rescue is headquartered in San Antonio, Texas, where there are over 350,000 homeless pets. We save homeless and abandoned dogs and find them loving forever homes in other areas, where pet homelessness is not epidemic. All of our pets are located here, in San Antonio, and we partner with rescues to provide transportation for our pets to their new homes. Our adoption fee includes vet care (vaccinations, spay/neuter, microchipping, etc), as well as transportation and health certificate. Please contact us to ask about our adoption process and our adoption fees. You can contact us directly at info@dogdiggityrescue.com , or fill out and application at either https://shaynesrescue.com/adoption-application-ls-dog-diggity/ or https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/HTX/Exotic/Other Important: If you are interested in this pup/dog, please fill out the application (link listed above). The rescue will contact you once the application is received. Although we strive to answer everyone, due to the high volume of inquiries we receive, we cannot guarantee a response to all emails. Filling out the application is the best way and ensures a response from the rescue. In addition, while you are emailing us, if others apply, you can lose out adopting the dog you chose. We have hundreds and hundreds of puppies/dogs available so there really is no need to apply anywhere else. However, if you are applying or have applied anywhere else, we do need to know that. If we approve your application to adopt a dog/pup and you do not, there is a $25 cancellation fee which goes towards our much needed medical fund. A note about pricing: Puppy adoption fees can be generally $495, some are higher, on occasion some might be even as low as $350. Some pups/dogs have more flexible adoption fees. It can even depend just on the foster availability. Adult dog adoption fees vary, but generally start at $395 and go up or down from there depending on the dog. and can often be flexible, it all depends. Our adoption fees cover the cost of transportation from Texas and the necessary health certificate documentation. The fees also include all medical costs to make sure the pups are appropriately vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, and spayed/ neutered. Additionally, any dogs over 6 months have had a negative heart-worm test. Some dogs/pups have additional medical, including but not limited to FHO, ACL, hernias, dental, and a myriad of other vetting. If the adoption fees seem high (which never cover the true cost of rescue), we recommend fostering for a good rescue. Fostering ensures you incur no vet bills and no boarding fees. We are always in need of good fosters. We are all volunteers and many of us donate 70+ hours/week and thousands/year of our own funds. WA and OR shelters are funded by taxpayers, hence, many have lower adoption fees. Shayne's rescue is a few foster parents in the Olympia/Tumwater area. We foster dogs that rescues ask us to foster and let those rescues use this site to list those pups/dogs and rehome them. We donate all of our time, food, monies to assist in getting these dogs forever homes. We are not responsible for any experience you have with any dog you might see posted on this site. They are the property, if you will, of the rescue they come from and all paperwork and vet work you will receive when you adopt and it will have all that information for you. Thank you for choosing to adopt a rescue pup/dog. Since worldwide over 1/2 billion puppies/dogs are PTS yearly and over 9,000/day just in U.S. shelters, yes even entire litters of puppies are PTS daily in many US shelters☹..Hence, we firmly believe there is NO breed other than rescue for all species. Thank you for being part of the village it takes to save these precious lives.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Samantha, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
