Meet Sampson. This 5-year-old Black Lab is looking for a fresh start with someone who appreciates loyalty and a good game of fetch. After his previous family surrendered him because they couldn’t cover his medical care, Sampson arrived with a laceration on his side. He’s been recovering well, and his playful spirit hasn't dimmed a bit. Sampson lights up around people—he wants to be close and bask in the company of his humans. Kids, other dogs, even cats, he handles them all with respect and warmth. Tennis balls send him over the moon, and he’ll bring you endless fun if you’re up for throwing one. He does show some resource guarding, so experience and structure will help keep everyone happy. With a reliable, knowledgeable household, Sampson’s eager to settle in and give as much love as he gets. Bonus fact: Sampson's sun sign is Scorpio—no wonder he's loyal and focused!
