Samson reporting for fun and play and cuddles!
Hi, I’m Samson! I’m an 8-year-old Belgian Malinois and I weigh 70 lbs of pure love and energy! I used to work as a drug detection dog for the Border Patrol. I was abandoned and found on Animal Farm Refugee property. You’d think that with my status and work I should have been treated better, right?! Anyways, TAP for the rescue! I am at an amazing foster home now. I am fully bathroom and leash trained.
Being a working dog, I have got a LOT of drive. These days, I’m living life as the goofiest, most loyal companion you could ask for. I’m super sweet, very high energy, and I absolutely love to play fetch, run, and cuddle! I’m also a big fan of the hose – water is so much fun! I’ve got a soft spot for people and love being around them – I’m the definition of a “velcro dog.” If you’re doing something, I want to be right there with you. I’m pretty smart too, so you’ll never be bored with me around. But, I have to admit, I can get a little anxious when I’m left alone. It’s a bit tough for me with separation anxiety, especially when I’m in a crate. I’ll cry and bark until you come back, so I’d really need someone who can be home with me a lot. I’m also not a big fan of small spaces (they scare me a bit), and I don’t always know my own size, so older kids would be best for me. I’m still figuring out how I feel about other dogs, but if I get along with another dog, it’d need to be one who’s calm and not too dominant. I’d probably do best in a home without stairs because my hips can bother me when I have to climb them.
I love to be active, so if you’re someone who likes to run or go on adventures, I’ll be your perfect partner! But don’t let my past as a working dog fool you – I’m all about cuddles and affection too. I’ll give you my heart and loyalty every day, and I’ll make you laugh with my funny antics. If you’ve got the time and space to keep up with me, I promise I’ll be your best friend forever! My adoption fee is $150 and that includes spaying/neutering, shots, and microchip.
