Silly Samson Splashes in the Day and Cuddles at Night

Ohhhh my goodness! Do we have a treat for you! Meet Samson! The handsome, water loving, curly tail wagging, most affectionate guy ever! He is a young, gorgeous, canine who won't be available for long!

We believe that Samson is a lab mix of some sort who is around 2 years old and weighs approximately 72 pounds. Due to him being a rescue, age and breed are our very best guesses and cannot be guaranteed. He is truly a Texas special. But those are the best type of rescue breeds!

Does your family appreciate the water life? Well Samson would love to join you on all of your adventures! As you can see in his video, the water life is his favorite life! He would have spent all day in the giant puddle in our yard if we would have let him! I can definitely see this boy living it up in the lake, beach, or pool!

Samson is very dog friendly and loved spending time with us and the other dogs during his visit to Rustic. We introduced him to all sorts of dogs with various temperaments, and he did great with all of them! He especially took to the high energy dogs who wanted to race around the yard with him. Samson is a natural born runner and effortlessly can stride for miles. (Running buddy anyone?) He would do well in a home with other medium/high energy dogs that know when it's time to settle down. As far as kitties go, Samson is ready for a challenge and will invite kitties to test their speed with him. Due to this we recommend that he lives in a home that has no feline friends. Because not everyone wants a track race all the time lol.

I also appreciated how affectionate he is! He doesn't know his size and wants to be in your lap or by your side at all times. He loved it when we introduced our 5-year-old friend Ellie to him! He wanted to say hi and take treats from her like a proper gentleman. He would do great in a home with older children that know how to properly enrich a big boy like himself.

Samson is the type who needs a yard to live his best life. He would do best in a home with a fenced yard over an apartment lifestyle. He is definitely the guy you want to take on walks around the neighborhood or hikes up the beautiful mountains. He has so much life to give and so many memories he is ready to share with his forever human!

Our transport includes drop off locations, in WA, UT, OR, ID, VA, PA, OH, NY, CT, VT, TN, KY, WI, MN, IL, WI and Canada (pick up in Bellingham, WA, Buffalo, NY or Brattleboro, VT for Canadian adopters). You will have the opportunity to track their journey in real time, see photo updates, learn fun facts, connect with fellow adopters and fosters through our private Facebook event page!

Before the adoption is finalized, you will meet your pet through a video call, creating a fun and personalized experience!

The adoption fee is $900 and includes all vetting, DAPP with booster, Bordetella, Rabies vaccine, multiple broad spectrum deworming treatments, spay/neuter, flea prevention, a 12 month heartworm preventative injectable, heartworm test and treatment if needed, a microchip with free lifetime registration, a high quality nylon Martingale collar, a health certificate deeming the pup healthy for travel, cost of transport*, and priceless years of love and loyal companionship!

We proudly have over 19,000 successful adoptions and excellent Google Reviews: https://g.co/kgs/UQ5Pyai We care deeply about creating lasting matches between dog and family for long term success and take the time to ensure each adoption is a fit through our matchmaking process.

At our 2-acre Texas based property, we assess every animal with trainers on staff, we modify behavior as needed, and create individualized behavior plans to help prepare dogs for their future families including crate training, potty training, leash walking, etc. Our fosters are able to attend group training and socialization play groups helping them stay confident, well rounded, and adoption-ready. Our on-site trainers are dedicated to each dogs growth and we enjoy seeing their progress!

We go above and beyond to ensure every animal receives exceptional care. Veterinarians consistently praise our medical standards. From routine care to advanced treatments, each dog receives personalized attention. Hard costs for a healthy dog range from $804-$920; heartworm-positive dogs or those needing specialized care can exceed $2,000+. Adoption fees help cover a portion of these expenses, but without government funding, we rely on fundraising to bridge the gap-ranging from $100-$1,000+ per dog.

Our adoption fees reflect the extensive care and resources that go into each animal we save. The adoption fee is a donation to the mission and goes far beyond getting a fully vetted pet.

It doesn't stop there! Our adopters also receive these SPECIAL PERKS:
