Could you give a permanent home to former trainee guide dog Samson? 🤞
Three-year-old Labrador cross, Samson, is a lovely, charismatic boy who absolutely adores people and loves fuss and affection ❤️
He has a reliable recall, making walks a real pleasure. Back at home, Samson is wonderfully behaved - he doesn’t counter surf, so your kitchen worktops are safe…although we can’t make the same promise about anything remotely resembling a dog toy! Samson loves puddles, rivers and having a splash, but baths he’s less keen on.
Samson's work in progress
Samson was originally withdrawn from the Guide Dogs’ training programme because he found car travelling difficult. He has made major improvements through a consistent training programme. His rehomer will need to complete training sessions around car travel before rehoming him. These will be conducted in Warwickshire near Leamington Spa.
What about cats?
Samson has only spent a short period living with cats, so this would need to be carefully considered by any potential adopter.
His ideal home
Samson can become very enthusiastic when playtime gets exciting and he can occasionally forget his manners. For this reason, we feel an adult-only, child-free home would be the most suitable environment for him.
Samson is looking for someone who can continue his travel training, appreciate his quirks and, most importantly, provide the fuss he firmly believes he is entitled to.
