This is Sampson, a pit who was rescued from Crescent City. The people at the Crescent City animal shelter said Sampson was tied up with one other dog, and nothing else, including not very much food or human attention, so everything is very new to this boy. He’s been at a 30 day doggie boot camp, where he learned commands, confidence and how to behave with manners. Sampson is a very laid-back dog, who likes getting attention and will be a very loyal companion.

Sampson is not the right dog for first time dog owners. Sampson is willing to let dogs approach him, but he can react in an aggressive manner- for this reason, we’ll be looking for a home where Sampson will be the only dog and with owners who have had experience with dogs before and are willing to discipline. Sampson is hanging out with Felix, the dog trainer, who says that Sampson has high food drive, very willing to engage, very trainable, and has medium energy. Felix also says that Sampson can be somewhat aloof at times, is independent, and is good with his kids.

We think Sampson will do best in a rural home or a home in a quiet neighborhood- no city for this guy. Sampson is actually pretty mellow, and will chill out for most of the day, but he will also appreciate a daily walk or play time. Please email info@azayaranchsanctuary.org
