Sam is one of the new kids on the block so we don't have much info on him yet. So far we know that he loves riding in the car, and likes to be in the yard. He seems to do well in the house, is not hyper, and loves humans. We will update Sams bio as soon as we get more info from his foster dad.

A note from Samson's foster dad: Samson is an excellent mal. He LOVES RIDES AND BEING IN THE CAR even if the car never moves. He has a very laid back attitude, and would rather be inside, or outside sleeping in the back of the truck than in the back yard. Samson does not appear to be interested in playing or with other dogs. He tolerates the other dogs, but as long as they give him his space. He does extremely well inside. No accidents of any kind. He usually finds a place to lay down, and will sleep the whole time. This is not to say that he does not get excited when I come home from work, or he is going to get a treat or I throw a toy for him, etc. He seldom plays with the others, but does seem to like a squeaky toy nearby. He has had no problems of trying to get out of the yard.

Samson appears to know basic commands, but can be quite stubborn if he does not want to do something like go in the back yard in the morning. He will usually run to the front door, and if that does not work, he will lay down in front of the door with his nose in the seam of the door jamb. If that does not work, he will roll over on his side bury his head against the floor and act as dead weight which appears to be a lot of dead weight. Samson rides extremely well in the back of the truck, tied in of course, and will usually sit near the cab with his head around the side of the cab. Samson is a very loving dog who loves to be petted. I am not sure he has a mean bone in his body, nor is he a hyper dog. He seems quite content to lay around all day in the comfort of someones home or truck. He is a very good looking mal with a very dense coat in comparison to my others. I feel Samson would do extremely well in a single dog household or maybe with a non-dominant female. He would do best as an indoor dog as he may howl at night when left alone. He needs to be in a family that will take him for rides on a regular basis or at least for regular walks. In all, he is a beautiful and very loving, docile mal who I could see laying at someones feet in front of a crackling fire in a winter cabin.

Sam is being cared for in Tacoma.
