Meet Sampson! We guess him to be a 1-year-old Dutch Shepherd mix with a big heart and an even bigger personality. Weighing in at about 70 pounds, he might seem a little intimidating at first, but beneath his large frame is a sweet and enthusiastic pup who loves everyone he meets. Unfortunately, Sampson was surrendered by his original owner because his excitement for life got the best of him—he just loved the chickens a little too much! Since arriving in our care in October, we’ve seen his true potential as a loving companion, but also recognize that he’s still very much a puppy at heart—energetic, playful, and eager to please.
Sampson is a dog who thrives on structure and boundaries. While he has an amazing personality and is incredibly eager to learn, he can be easily excitable and needs guidance to direct his energy appropriately. With the right training and consistency, Sampson will shine—he's highly intelligent and wants nothing more than to make you proud. Whether it’s obedience, agility, or just a fun hike, Sampson is the perfect candidate for an active lifestyle. He’s a sport dog in the making and would be an excellent choice for someone looking for a dog to participate in activities or simply be an enthusiastic adventure companion.
Sampson’s ideal home would be with an owner who can provide the structure and leadership he craves. He’s not a couch potato and will need mental and physical stimulation to be content. Due to his high energy and prey drive, Sampson may not be suited for homes with small animals, but with the right guidance, he’ll be a loyal and loving companion. If you’re looking for a dog that will keep you on your toes and be by your side for every adventure, Sampson could be the perfect match for you. He’s been with us since October, and we know that with the right family, he’s going to thrive. Come meet Sampson today and see if he’s the adventure buddy you’ve been waiting for!
