Are you looking for a squishy teddy bear that's calm, gentle, and sweet? Then Sampson is your guy! He's potty-trained and crate-trained as well so he's quite the catch. Sampson takes the phrase "leisurely pace" very seriously since he's 90% couch potato and 10% furry tortoise. He is in absolutely no hurry to do anything whether it's walking, eating, or going up and down the stairs. Every once in a while he'll pick up the pace but it's still a slow jog at best. His past life was not great so he's still learning how to be a dog. He's starting to try and play with other dogs and is interested in chew toys but he'll need another dog in his home to keep showing him the ropes. Sampson is very cautious and shy around new people and new things so he will usually find a corner to hide in until gets comfortable. He will do best in a home with people that will be gentle and patient with him for the first day or two until he feels more confident. He's definitely worth the wait though and you'll be rewarded with a fluffy shadow that follows you around and gives you a gentle nose bump to get pets. How can you pass that up? (Answer: you can't so fill out an app today!)

**Note on breed and age determination: 

Breed and age are often determined on appearance, our own knowledge, veterinarian advice, and/or information from the sending shelters or previous owners.  Most of our adoptable dogs were previously stray dogs with little history, we can’t be 100% sure of a dog’s breed mix, and unless there is a specific date of birth listed, we can’t be 100% sure of a dog’s age. Additionally, our assessments of a dog's interactions with other dogs, cats, or children are based on OUR experiences. Your experience may differ.
