Sampson is a fluffy boy who thinks snuggles are delightful. He enjoys couch time with his foster family and loves cuddling with his people and doggie siblings. He's doing great with house and potty training. This good boy adores children, he's rated for kids 10 years and older as well as similarly sized dogs. He'd definitely enjoy having siblings, human or dog, to play with in his new home!
Sampson is a wilderness explorer at heart! If he thinks he can sneak away... he will gladly go on an adventure. His curiosity and desire for exercise makes him a flight risk, especially when he is first adopted and hasn't bonded with his new family members. For that reason, Sampson requires a securely fenced yard he can explore - he'll definitely need supervision until he's bonded and trusts you.
Sampson's future family must be committed to engaging him through training and exercise. Like many clever dogs, Sampson watches you and waits to see if you will hold him to task. He's smart enough to try and distract you with his cuteness. Having a doggie sibling he can mimic will help him learn and adjust more quickly in his new home.
