SampsonSampson (Sammy) is a doll baby. He just loves snuggles and is very grateful to be cozy inside. He has been wonderful in his crate, appreciates his meals, and is just a snuggle bug. Very handsome and all Shepherd, he seeks a loving GSD home to take care of him as a member of their family.


A special thank you goes out to Sampson's sponsor: Kristina Sturwold in memory of Taz. Cecilia Wong. Cheryl Smith in honor of King.

Please fill out an Application if you are interested in adopting or would like more information about this dog. We receive a large number of emails asking if a particular home or situation is appropriate for a dog in our care. To evaluate this, we need you to fill out an application.

If you have questions about adoption fees and what the fees include, these questions will be answered in the Application information before you fill out any information about yourself. Applications will be responded to before any other inquiries.

We do thank you for considering adopting a dog through rescue and believe that by saving the life of a dog you show that you are a compassionate and caring person. Please remember that we are an all-volunteer, foster-based rescue that receives no government funding and functions on proceeds from our adoption fees and private donations. Please respect the time our volunteer's take away from their family to do rescue and fill out an application before contacting us.
