MEET SIR SAMSON LONESTAR! Samson is 83 pounds of loyalty, goofiness, and gorgeous GSD charm. He's food-motivated, picks up training fast, already knows "sit" and "come," and will wander into his crate on his own just to relax with a frozen Kong. He is house and crate trained. He walks great on leash and enjoys car rides too. After a good training session or walk, he crashes into full-body naps complete with adorable snoring. He’s just picked up a new favorite pastime in foster care...hiking! Samson responds really well to the positive reinforcement training he’s receiving in his foster home. He responds intelligently to gentle correction and is a fast learner...typical of this smarty pants breed! He's also a certified Velcro dog. He thrives on connection with his people! He loves belly rubs, pets, praise, and being wherever you are. Dogs: Great!!! Loves our 50-lb. female dog and is politely neutral with our 25-lb. male. Cats: NO! Kids: Gentle and sweet, but supervise small ones due to his size. People: Friendly with everyone he's ever met. His dream home: An active family or individual with a secure yard, no cats, and a love for the GSD blend of brilliance, loyalty, and just a touch of stubbornness. Want to meet Sir Samson Lonestat?
