​Sampson is a handsome 10-pound 3 yr old Poodle mix who has beaten the odds in ways no little puppy should ever have to.
​He had owners, yet he was still abandoned on the streets to fend for himself.
What could a 5-month-old puppy have possibly done so wrong to endure this kind of heartbreak?

​His old tag said Oreo, but he is now our brave Sampson.

He fought his way through starvation on the streets until he was rescued.

​Today, he is truly the happiest, bravest boy we know

​Yes, the virus left him with nerve damage in his lower legs. But watching him go from complete lameness to getting up, walking, wobbling, and actually playing... words
