SAMSON

MEET SAMSON German Shepherd · 5 yrs · 80 lbs · Male (Neutered) Vaccinated · Microchipped · Heartworm Prevention Current · Crate Trained · House Trained________________________________________Samson is 80 pounds of loyalty, goofiness, and gorgeous GSD charm. He's food-motivated, picks up training fast, already knows `sit` and `come,` and will wander into his crate on his own just to relax with a frozen Kong. After a good training session or walk, he crashes into full-body naps complete with adorable snoring.He's also a certified Velcro dog. Leave the room and you'll get a soft pleading whine—ignore that, and he'll hit you with one assertive bark to remind you he exists. He loves belly rubs, pets, praise, and being wherever you are.Dogs: Great! Loves our 50-lb. female dog and is politely neutral with our 25-lb. male. Cats: No—high prey drive. Cat-free home is a must. Kids: Gentle and sweet, but supervise small ones due to his size. People: Friendly with everyone he's ever met.What to know before you fall in love: Samson has a STRONG prey drive—deer and cats send him into full focus mode, and he pulls hard on leash around them. He needs a handler who respects his strength and is committed to positive-reinforcement training. He's sensitive and smart, and harsh corrections aren't the way to his heart. Treats are.His dream home: An active family or individual with a secure yard, no cats, and a love for the GSD blend of brilliance, loyalty, and just a touch of stubbornness.Want to meet Samson?
