My name is Sampson!

We adopted Sampson from the humane society when he was 12 weeks old. He has lived with us his whole life (9 years) and has been a great dog. He is very affectionate and gentle with our two young boys. He is energetic and excited to meet new people. He is great with other dogs but prefers dogs that are smaller than him. Sampson loves to go on walks, lay in the sun, lick toes, and chase birds/bugs/squirrels.

Over a year ago Sampson partially ruptured his cranial cruciate ligaments in both rear legs. He was under restricted movement for several months and has made a great recovery, though his knees still crack/pop when climbing the stairs and he gets sore if he runs around too vigorously.

Sampson does not like being crated. He stays out when we leave the house and rarely causes any issues. However, he has strong anxiety around thunderstorms, which can be challenging.
