Bio:
Samson is a joyful young dog with the kind of energy that makes every day brighter. Out in the yard, he’s all motion — sprinting, exploring, and showing off his goofy grin. But call his name and you’ll see a different side: he slows down, presses in close, and soaks up affection like it’s what he’s been waiting for all along. He’s the best mix of playful spirit and loyal heart.

Now in foster care through the Canine Leadership Program, Samson is working one-on-one with youth trainers who are teaching him his commands and helping him channel his energy. He’s thriving with the attention and structure, showing how smart and responsive he really is. With his athletic build, gentle nature, and joyful personality, Samson is ready to be someone’s running buddy, adventure partner, and constant source of smiles.
