SAMPSON is a gorgeous hunk of love who is 100+ pounds and thinks he's a lap dog! As you can see from the last picture, he just wanted to snuggle with the shelter worker.

Sampson comes from a Kansas shelter that tries hard to save as many animals as they can but are simply overwhelmed by irresponsible pet owners. A fellow rescuer alerted us to him and we pulled him just before he was to be killed because the shelter is overflowing with unwanted dogs and cats.

Why anyone would throw away a dog like Sampson is beyond us. Altho we don't yet know a great deal about him, he is in a foster home and seems to be ine of the biggest lovebugs around. He appears to get along with other dogs. He was cat tested at the shelter and is good with cats. He sniffed at the cat who likes dogs and was afraid of the one who doesn't like dogs! He's just a big old bear. We have not seen him around children but suspect he would be fine. He appears to be housetrained.

Sampson is in desperate need of a forever family who will love him and cherish him as he will you. ARE YOU HIS FOREVER PEOPLE?

Adoption fee for Samson is $300

STOP!! READ THIS BEFORE YOU GO ANY FURTHER!

1. We're picky about our adopters. 
2. Are you sure you're up to having a GSD?  They're not for everyone.  They take a lot of time, effort, training.  They shed year round.  They're big.  They scare lots of people.  They "mouth" and herd.  They're usually strong-willed and stubborn.  You have to have references and a home visit.  If you're not willing or able to deal with any of this, please don't waste your time or ours applying.  
   
3. Will the dog be an inside family pet? We do not adopt to outdoor-only homes. All dogs must be indoor dogs.
4. Do you leave your dog outdoors when you're not home?   We do not adopt to homes that leave their animals outside when they're gone.  You must put your dogs indoors when you're gone.  A 3 yr old adopted MOGS dog died when the owners went to run errands, left her outdoors, the gate was somehow opened, and she was hit by a car.  Tragic and 100% preventable. Even privacy fences get broken into.  Gates are opened.  Thieves steal dogs. Never leave your dog outdoors when you're not home!!
   
5. What's your plan for unexpected events and major changes?  New baby? Divorce?  Moving?   How you will provide for your dog if your family breaks up? 
   
6. Will you make a lifetime commitment?  It's your responsibility to keep your dog safe, loved and cared for FOR LIFE.
7.  Do you understand we expect you to keep that lifetime commitment?  It's YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to stick by your family member -- no matter what.
8. Are you unable or unwilling to make a lifetime commitment? Do not apply.
