SAM NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!!

Come meet Sam and other great adoptable dogs this Sunday (1/4) from 12-3 pm at the PetSmart in Alexandria, VA (3351 Richmond Hwy, Alexandria, VA 22305)!

Name: Sam Best Guess for Breed: Lab/Terrier mix

Best Guess for Age: 10 weeeks as of 12/15/25 SEX: male

Estimated Weight (puppies' weights change quickly!): 12.5 pounds as of 12/14/25

Gets Along With: Most puppies are in the prime of their socialization window and will do well with other dogs, cats and kids so long as they receive patience and proper training.

Currently Living at: DC area foster home

Special Adoption Considerations: Puppies under 6 months of age need to have multiple potty breaks/exercise throughout the day. Potential adopters with a standard 8-hour workday must be willing to make arrangements to meet the needs of their puppy.
SAM is Looking For: Hiya!! I'm Sam. I'm looking for a family who's looking for an awesome puppy, because that's what I am. I'm playful, handsome, eager to please, eager to learn, energetic, I like other dogs, I'm just all around awesome. And I know you could help me be even more awesome if you adopt me! We could go to puppy classes, and I could learn to do what you say. We could go to the dog park, and see if I like playing fetch, and I could play with the other dogs! Wow that would be cool. Then when we get home, some tasty kibble and then snuggling on the couch! Altogether phenomenal for both of us!! You might need a little patience, because I know I have a lot to learn, and I am going to behave like a puppy, because that's what I am! But I'm a really awesome puppy, and you could help me grow into an awesome dog. What do you say? Could you be the family for me?
What My Foster Says About Me: Sam is a great puppy who has been having a blast playing with my resident dog! He is learning all those things - he is great in the crate and happy to be distracted with toys. He is a happy go lucky little (right now) guy who this week will get to start working on his leash manners and really getting to see the world! Sam would make a great addition to any family!!
Puppy Vetting Requirements: Lucky Puppies have had their age appropriate vaccines, but may not yet be "fully" vaccinated. It is the adopter's responsibility to ensure that the remaining puppy vaccines are given at the appropriate time. Please also keep in mind that, until your puppy is fully vaccinated, they are at greater risk for illness than an adult dog.

Due to this puppy's young age, she/he has not yet been spayed or neutered. As part of the adoption contract, it will be your responsibility, as the adopter, to ensure that this is done no later than 3/30/26. There are NO EXCEPTIONS and NO EXTENSIONS to this date. A non-refundable spay/neuter deposit will be collected if you would like Lucky Dog to pay for this animal to be spayed/neutered at one of our low cost partner vets.

Your new puppy will need to work on their house training and will also need to go to obedience school so they can grow into a well-socialized dog! TO ADOPT: The adoption fee for this puppy is $485, which includes the cost of routine vetting and transport from the shelter. If you are interested in adopting, please complete the Adoption Questionnaire online bit.ly/adoptaluckydog
