Samson's Story

Meet Samson! <br/>Samson is an adorable 4-year-old male Shih Tzu, weighing in at a perfect 15 lbs of fluff and charm. He's a sweet, gentle little guy who gets along wonderfully with kids, adults, dogs, and cats. He's house and crate trained, up to date on rabies, and truly loves being close to his people - companionship is his happy place.<br/><br/>Samson does require a special lifelong diet (Royal Canin Urinary SO) to keep him healthy. He is also an anxious chewer and will chew blankets, beds, toys, and anything soft for comfort - so no soft toys and items must be kept out of reach. He'll need close supervision and a home that understands and manages chewing behaviors.<br/><br/>Because of this, local adoption only and dog experience is preferred. Samson would do best with someone familiar with canine anxiety and able to provide structure, patience, and lots of love.<br/><br/> Treat-motivated (he'll do almost anything for snacks!)<br/> Loves affection and staying close<br/> Great with other animals<br/> Not a fan of grooming - gets anxious<br/><br/>If you're an experienced dog owner looking for a loyal, loving little companion with a big heart, Samson is your guy.

Tired Dog Rescue's Adoption Policy
Tired Dog Rescue adoption fee includes all sets of vaccinations, heartworm test, fecal exam, spay/neuter and microchip. We also recommend that you research the breed that you want to adopt. Ask yourself....Can you afford the cost of a high maintenance dog such as a Cocker Spaniel or Shih-tzu etc? The grooming costs are about 50.00 every 6-8 weeks. Are you in a position to adopt a puppy which will require training? Can you afford the medical costs that might be involved in adopting a senior pup? We want every adoption to be for life so please think about what you can and what you are willing to do before considering each pet. If you are unsure please contact us and we can help answer any questions.

Our Mission
Tired Dog Rescue is a small breed rescue that utilizes foster homes to house our dogs instead of a traditional shelter style environment. This gives us a chance to really get to know each and every dog. That way we are sure to be able to match each dog with the perfect family.
