Oh 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 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! Samson is a natural-born runner and effortlessly can stride for miles. He has so much life to give and so many memories he is ready to share with his forever human!
Ideal Home
Does your family appreciate the water life? Well, Samson would love to join you on all of your adventures! 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. 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. 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 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.
Ongoing Health
Samson is up-to-date on all vetting, including DAPP with booster, Bordetella, and Rabies vaccines. He has received multiple broad-spectrum deworming treatments and is on flea and heartworm prevention. He has been microchipped with free lifetime registration.
Training & Support
Samson is very dog-friendly and was introduced to dogs with various temperaments, doing great with all of them, especially those who enjoy racing around the yard. He is ready for a challenge and will invite kitties to test their speed with him, so a home without feline friends is recommended. He loves to be by your side and doesn't know his own size, often wanting to be in your lap. He's ready for walks and hikes and has a lot of love to give.
