“Sampson is a 5-month-old neutered male Dutch Shepherd mix. Sampson isn’t just a puppy; he’s a smart, driven, and loyal companion looking for a family that loves to stay as busy as he does! Whether it’s swimming, going on a long hike, or a game of fetch, he is always ready to go. Because he’s a Shepherd mix, he’s incredibly bright and thrives when his mind is kept busy. He’s very food-motivated, which makes him an absolute dream to train. He already has a great foundation with commands like Sit, Lay Down, and Climb, and he’s eager to keep learning more. When he’s not out adventuring, Sampson is a total gentleman. He is fully crate trained, a pro in the car, and has excellent leash manners. He is both dog and cat friendly, though he appreciates a slow, respectful introduction and he prefers friends who aren't too pushy until he’s had a chance to say hello! Above all, Sampson is a "velcro dog" who just wants to be by your side. If you are looking for an active, intelligent partner to join you on every trail and water outing, Sampson might just be right for you!”
