MOUNTAIN HOME ARKANSAS:
ADOPTED
On June16th a person called about a huge dog that he had been leaving food out for. He had just found the owner and and when the owner came and got the dog he shot him!!!
The dog had shotgun pellets in his ear, on his ear and in his neck. The vet got most of the pellets out. He has recovered nicely. Considering how much pain he must have been in, he was a real sweetheart when we picked him up.
Obviously he is a great dog to have gone through so much misery and still be willing to give his trust and his heart to people so easily. We named him Samson.
He was groomed and what a handsome fella he is! The groomer said he was wonderful for his bath and nail trim. He is a wet mouth so he will need 'touch ups' in-between baths. Also expect a "Beethoven" shower of drool on occasion.
He has spent some time in the house and has not marked. I do believe being inside was a new experience. He behaved wonderfully. He met all the other dogs.
He was totally accepting of them and they shared a cool spot. He does however play VERY rough with the other dogs.
Samson walks great on leash. He knows "leave it" and "sit". He is well mannered but does like to snuggle in close for loves and ear scratches. He rides good in the back seat of a car or crated.
He is huge! When we brought him home he was only 117 pounds because he had not eaten regularly. He should be nearing 140 which would be a healthy weight for him. He is 34" tall at the shoulders.
He is neutered, heartworm negative and UTD. He is a big, strong, healthy boy
Samson is offered for adoption through Ozark Dogs rescue. For more information on Samson, please contact Carol:
