Samson is a 16-pound Poodle with a gentle nature who is still learning that the world can be a safe and happy place. He can be unsure around strangers and new situations at first, but he truly thrives when he is around other dogs. Samson may need a little time to build trust with new people, but in a quiet home that will go at his pace and give him patience and understanding, he will do just fine. Once he feels comfortable, his personality begins to shine. His favorite thing in the entire world is playing with other dogs. Samson is very playful with his canine friends and clearly gains confidence from their presence. Because of this, he would benefit greatly from having another confident, playful dog in the home who can help show him the ropes and be his companion. A meet and greet with any dogs in the home will be required to ensure everyone is a good fit. With the right environment and a canine buddy by his side, Samson has the potential to grow into a wonderful companion. ------ Before being rescued, many of our dogs had limited socialization, so they may need some time to adjust to life as a family pet. Older kids are often a great fit for our dogs, and homes with younger children will be considered based on each dog's individual needs. Skills like house training and leash walking may take a little extra patience and practice. However, with understanding and a gentle hand, most of these dogs adapt quite quickly. Being a part of their rehabilitation is a truly rewarding experience. To learn more about mill dogs and start the adoption process, visit our website!
