Black Labrador Retriever Dogs Available for Adoption in Newton, Iowa

Meet Sampson

This handsome 5-year-old Black Lab is ready for his second chance-and he's hoping it's with you.

Sampson came to us after his family made the difficult decision to surrender him when he needed medical care they couldn't afford. He had a large laceration on his side, but he's been getting the care he needs and is on the road to healing.

Now let's talk about the good stuff-because there's a lot of it.

Sampson is a total people dog. He loves being close to his humans and will happily soak up all the attention you're willing to give. He's done great with kids, gets along well with other dogs, and has also been respectful around cats. And if you've got a tennis ball? You've got his heart. Playing fetch is his absolute FAVORITE thing in the whole world

Sampson does have some resource guarding tendencies, so he'll need a home that understands this behavior and is committed to managing it. With the right structure, consistency, and a knowledgeable family, he's going to thrive.

If you're looking for a loyal, loving companion who just wants to be by your side (and chase a ball or two), Sampson might be your guy.
