Meet a playful, loving, and loyal sidekick: Samson Samson had a crappy start to life. He was not properly cared for - tied to a staircase. No vet care after he fell down the stairs. It has left him with an injury to his right back leg (you may notice the slight shortness of it). Multiple vets have evaluated the leg and recommend keeping it given his use of the leg and lack of pain. He gets around great and has managed to jump up on the kitchen counter of his foster's home. He has since learned than counters are not part of a fun parkour obstacle course. Point being: the leg works just fine!!Despite his neglectful background, this ~11 month old boxer mix is 48lb of joyful energy. With a beautiful brindle coat and a personality to match, he brings enthusiasm to everything he does! Whether it's sprinting laps around the yard, showing off his impressive jumping skills, or simply soaking up time with his favorite people.Samson is very friendly and playful, the kind of dog who greets each day like it's the best one yet. His zest for life is contagious, making him a great match for an active or somewhat active home that appreciates a little (or a lot of) fun. When he gets his bursts of energy out, Samson loves to sit on the couch with a toy, bone, or chew. He's a loyal sidekick at heart who loves to stick by your side after a good play session.He's a great eater, mostly potty trained (occasional accidents if not taken out regularly), crate trained, and thrives with space to run and explore. A fenced yard would be his dream setup, where he can stretch his legs, have a zoomie session, and then plop down in the grass with a toy. He loves other dogs, although some of them don't always appreciate his exuberant play styles. We think Samson would do fine as the only dog or in a house with multiple dogs. Samson is not currently living with cats, but we feel he would likely not do well with them. Kids 5 and up would likely be a wonderful part of Samson's forever life. He has met several kids and done so well with them. He loves giving kisses and making kids giggle! Samson would be in heaven running around a yard or playing fetch with a small human of his own to grow up with.If you're looking for a loving, spirited companion who will keep life light and full of laughter, this brindle boy is ready to meet you. Samson can go home today to an approved adopter. He is neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, and negative for heartworm and lyme. Apply at pawsacrosspittsburgh.com/adopt. KL 16182
