Hi, Im SAMSON, a male, 47 pound, heartworm-negative Lab-mix! 

* I am super affectionate, kinda goofy, and love spending time with humans
* When I showed up at the shelter, I had metal in my stomach, a broken toe, and a bullet hole in my back leg
*  With some vet care, time, and a lot of love, Im a new man!
* The vet looked at the metal in my stomach and decided the risk of removal did not justify taking it out so they left it and it doesnt bother me at all. You should see me run in the play yard now that I feel better!  
* In spite of a body that tells the story of some hard times, the humans say I have the most trusting, happiest, and most grateful spirit
* I love giving kisses and wiggle like crazy when I get pets! 
* I thrive and am joyful when I get to go on walks and spend time with humans
* I like other dogs! My best friend here is Boo
* Did you notice Im heartworm negative? Thats kind of a miracle in shelters, so someone loved, vetted me regularly, and took care of me before my wounds. That may explain my happy, trusting nature!
