Hi, I'm Samson

Status: adopted

About Samson

lead, I rarely tug on the lead except when I see other dogs. I’m very calm in the house, and I usually don’t bark much. I am cautious when meeting new people inside the house. It may take me a while to warm up to strangers. I am good with other dogs, but I don’t like cats and want to chase them. I’m looking for a home without cats.

I’m house-trained and well-behaved, but I’m not crate trained. I don’t get on any furniture or beds, and I have not chewed on anything other than my toys. I also sleep through the night in my dog bed. I really like going for car rides. I’m well-behaved and calm when riding in the car.

In January, I had surgery to remove my right leg. I had a cancerous growth on my right elbow and the vets thought it was best to remove my leg so I wouldn’t have to worry about it causing any problems later. I had bloodwork and x-rays and there are no signs that it has spread.

People kept telling me it would not be that bad not having four legs, but I didn’t believe them. Now I do though! I have very good mobility. I like all the same activities as other Dobermans, walks, playing fetch, and running in the yard. I just can’t do them as quickly as other dogs.  I can even go up and down stairs without any problems! It does really help me to have my food and water bowl elevated off the floor.
