In the shelter’s words

Samson – Smart, Engaging, and Lovably Oversized Meet Samson, a 2-year-old, 80-pound German Shepherd mix with a big presence, a bright mind, and an endearing way of checking in with his people. Smart & Talented: Samson knows “sit,” “down,” and “paw,” and can put his paws on patio furniture on cue. He may even know “crawl”! He pulls mildly on leash, takes treats gently and is eager to learn. Playful & Curious: He enjoys sniffing and exploring the yard, then gallops back when called. He loves engaging with his person and may hop onto a nearby lap for a closer connection. Connected Companion: Samson checks in frequently and often stays close to his handler, especially when the world feels busy. Dog Social: Samson plays well with other dogs in playgroup. He may pull mildly or whine softly when he spots a dog he wants to greet Samson would do best with appropriately matched dogs or as a solo dog with well-matched canine friends.
