Samson
shepherd mix | male | about 1 y | 60 lbs
Holy connoli is Samson a lovable goofball! With his beautiful golden brown eyes and unique markings, this stunning boy is impossible not to stare at.. and he has the temperament to match! From the moment Samson arrived at Love Dogs he has been as happy as can be. He never meets a stranger.. human or canine!
Samson is a big, bold boy and has a ton of fun loving, bouncy energy to burn. On a walk he’s super playful and ready for adventure. Walking forward with a purpose but constantly checking back in with you by looking up and making eye contact. That seems to come natural for him, not taught. How cool is that?!
Samson’s greeting is one for the books, as you’ll see in some of his photos.. he LOVES meeting new people and will, as gently and loving as can be, pop up for a welcoming doggie hug. Sam wraps his arms around your hips and politely stretches up to give a kiss under the chin... and of course we let him! We can’t get enough of it actually! It’s the most endearing act.
Yet another thing Samson loves is the car.. and when i say he loves it i mean HE REALLY LOVES THE CAR! We did a fun exercise where we placed a doggy cot about 20 ft away from the cat. We taught Sam to go to the cot, sit and stay. When we gave the release command we ran over to the car to see how he would do.. you know, some dogs are really afraid of the car! Well.. Samson flew off the cot, sprinted over to the car and enthusiastically jumped into the trunk!! He jumped with so much gusto he couldn't stop and bumped into the back seat! Sam then turned around to check in, made wonderful eye contact and waited for what was to come next. Of course, i snapped a photo you can see above!
So far everything we’ve seen from Samson is pure joy. We are getting to know his play style with other dogs and will update very soon! He is just coming out of heartworm treatment so we are slowly getting his exercise level back up. Sam gets a kick out of pack walks and meeting dogs on leash.. he is always overjoyed with excitement!
Samson also thoroughly enjoys chasing cats.. so we recommend he doesn't go to a home with kitties. Stay tuned for more updates as we get to know sweet lovebug Samson!
