About Samson Aka Sammy

Samson Aka Sammy survived a tough start, rescued by the sheriff’s department after being chained day and night to the point the metal embedded and wounded his neck. He arrived severely underweight, needing extensive medical attention. Despite what he went through, Sammy greeted everyone with a goofy, tail-wagging joy that he’s kept since day one. Now neutered and fully healed, he acts like a big happy puppy, energetically catching up on months of missed play and freedom. Sammy’s still learning to take it slow at mealtimes, using food puzzles to keep him from eating too fast. He needs a home where he’s safe and gets plenty of daily exercise. Harness walks are a must to protect his neck. While he hasn’t been tested with cats and can be very strong, with patience and structure he’ll settle in well. Sammy brings a lot of fun wherever he goes—anyone who adopts him will gain a loyal, high-spirited companion for life. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
