Story
Sweet Zipper has found his way back to DWB. He was missing fur, itchy, and had lots of knots. Then the poor boy had a neck injury. During the time of his vet visit we learned he has a heart murmur and the start of cataracts. He also just received a dental thanks to DWB. Zipper also will need regular allergy shots, medicated baths for his skin, and food free from additives. This sweet boy deserves to find his forever home. He is a dog that likes to do things on his terms. If he wants to cuddle he will climb on you, if he wants to be left alone he will go lay down away from you. On walks he likes to say hi to everyone but they have to move slow and let him come to them. Zipper likes to be in the presence of other dogs but after about 20 minutes he has had enough and wants to go home to decompress. He is fully potty trained and lets you know when he needs to go out. He also lets you know when he is hungry or there is no more water in his bowl. Zipper loves short periods of play time playing fetch. He also does not mind being left in the crate when you are gone and in-fact enjoys it. Zipper likes a quiet home so no kids or other dogs. He also prefers female humans. His foster mom has also noticed he is not a fan of big trucks, bikes, or anything that’s really loud and moves fast especially when on his walks. This guy has been failed too many times. Give him a home, a real home, forever! You won’t regret it!

Story
Meet Samson!! You will never go upstairs alone again. Or to the kitchen. Or, honestly, to the bathroom. If this little guy has his way, you will never be alone again. Meet Samson. Samson is the happiest, sweetest little love bug, with a soft, fluffy white coat, apricot ears, a face you can't stop looking at, and the longest blonde eyelashes you have ever seen. People always think he is a puppy, but he is fully grown. He was surrendered by his owner, and little is known about his life before. His nails were so long when he arrived that he had clearly spent most of his days indoors, so the big world outside is still new to him. He has been in foster care since October 3 and is settling in a little more every day. If you have ever wanted a dog who adores you completely, this is him. Samson is a true Velcro dog. When he wants to be picked up, he hops around like a little bunny until you get the hint. He will let you snuggle him for a minute, then settle in right next to you, because next to you is his favorite place in the world. He is curious about everything, sweet with everyone who stops to say hello, and generous with kisses for any hand, foot, or face within reach. Samson is a low-energy lounger and a champion napper. He isn't much for toys, and his idea of a perfect afternoon is curled up on the couch facing you, because he always wants to see his person. He is quiet and calm at home and does not bark when you are with him. At night he sleeps quietly beside you. He knows his name, wears his harness without a fuss, and seems to have been groomed before. His coat appears to be low shedding. Samson's perfect home is a calm one where somebody is around most of the day: a retiree who wants a constant companion, someone who works from home and doesn't mind a little dog napping by the keyboard, or someone with a dog-friendly office. An apartment or a house both work, as long as he isn't left alone for long stretches. He would be happiest as the only pet in an adult home, away from a busy household of visitors, kids, and other dogs. What Samson needs in return is patience. He has separation anxiety and cries and barks when his person leaves, even for a shower with the door closed, though he settles after five to ten minutes, which is a good sign. Nights go best when he can sleep close to you, and he will ask for attention during phone and video calls. He is unsure around other dogs and gives a low growl when they come close, and he has not been around cats or kids. Whoever adopts Samson should know he is still working on the basics. He uses potty pads some of the time, has not yet gone to the bathroom outdoors, and has gone in his crate, but he holds it all day when he goes to the office, so the control is there. On a leash he would often rather be carried, and is actively still learning to walk with a leash. Loud noises outside still startle him, and he rides in a crate in the car, crying at first. His coat grows long and mats easily, so he needs regular brushing and a groomer every six to eight weeks, and he does not like the insides of his paws touched. His teeth look healthy, and brushing will keep them that way. Samson started out with a small, mostly indoor life. He doesn't ask for much now: a warm spot next to you, an apple slice now and then, and a person who wants a shadow as much as he wants to be one. If that's you, he's already waiting at the bottom of the stairs.
