Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hello, I'm Sampson. It's a delight to make your acquaintance. I hold the record for being the longest resident dog at Abandoned Pet Rescue. Spending almost six years in a shelter is quite a long time for a majestic 10 1/2-year-old German Shepherd like me. When I first arrived, I became protective of my kennel, and it takes me a while to trust new human friends. However, I have formed strong bonds with a few staff members and volunteers over the years who enjoy walking, training, and playing with me. I am in need of an experienced adopter who understands my quirks and protective, loyal nature, someone comfortable with my 100-pound size (that's a lot of charm!). I am seeking a soulmate in the South Florida area willing to invest time in getting to know me at the shelter before I transition to a new home. The shelter staff will demonstrate my leash-walking skills (I am even trained to wear a muzzle) and how quickly I pick up new tricks like speak, paw, and sit. I enjoy car rides and have recently discovered the delight of a Starbucks Puppuccino. My dream is to have a peaceful, calm home with a fenced yard and an abundance of squeaky toys (my favorite!). I am looking for a home without cats or kids, but I do enjoy the companionship of other dogs with a proper introduction. If you are interested in knowing more about me, please complete an adoption application at abandonedpetrescue.org. Kindly spread the word about me so I can find my perfect forever home.
