Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Samson 🐾
When we first met Samson, his world was very small. He was tethered to a porch with a heavy tow chain weighed down by locks, covered in fleas, and filthy from being left outdoors. At first, he was understandably wary and protective of the only place he knew as home. But it didn’t take long with some gentle baby talk and a few treats, Samson showed us who he really is, happily eating right out of our hands.
Once in our care, Samson was cleaned up, treated for fleas, and given the fresh start he deserved. Today, he’s a confident, independent soul who enjoys his own company. Out in the yard, you’ll often find him content with his ball, doing his own thing and soaking up the peace.
Affection with Samson is special because it’s earned. He’s begun seeking out love and pets, but always on his terms. He’s very much a “Mr. Independent” kind of guy who values respect and patience.
Samson would do best in a home with older children who understand boundaries, especially when he’s enjoying his toys. He appears to do well with other dogs, though a meet-and-greet is required. We’re unsure how he feels about cats at this time.
If you’re looking for a loyal companion who doesn’t need constant attention but will choose you when he’s ready, Samson just might be your perfect match.
🖤 Ready to meet this resilient boy and give him the home he’s been waiting for?
