SAMSON - Pit Bull Terrier Dog for Adoption in Rochester, Indiana

Hi, I'm Samson!

Approx 3 years old | APBT Mix | 70 lbs

I was confiscated from a neglect/hoarding situation with several other dogs, and the people here believe I may be the dad to some of the younger dogs. Unlike many of them, I arrived in much better condition. It appears I spent most of my time living separately from the larger group, and because of that, I avoided many of the injuries the others suffered.

Now I'm ready for something I've never truly had... a family of my own!

Friendly and affectionate Calm, well-mannered personality Potty trained Has lived with other dogs Ready to settle into family life

I've been a wonderful neighbor to the other dogs here at the shelter, and since I've lived with other dogs before, we think I'll do well with proper introductions. However, I am not a fan of kitties, so I will need a home without them. We expect I'll do well with respectful children.



I do have some skin irritation from the environment I came from, but I'm already receiving the care I need, and with time, a healthy diet, and lots of love, it should clear up in no time. I may also benefit from a quality salmon-based food or a skin and coat supplement to help keep my skin healthy as I heal.

Everyone here describes me as a truly well-mannered dog. I keep my kennel clean, enjoy spending time with people, and seem genuinely grateful for every bit of kindness that's shown to me!

I've survived my past. Now I'm ready to discover what it's like to simply be loved. Maybe that future starts with you.
