Sampson is a 6-month-old Chow Chow mix who’s already overcome more than most pups his age. Rescued off the streets of Puerto Rico and a survivor of parvo, this brave little guy is now healthy, growing, and eager to start his next chapter—with a forever family by his side. He’s still shy around people, but he’s blossoming every day, especially with the help of doggie friends and patient humans who give him the space he needs.
Why He’s the Ultimate Loyal Companion in Training
🐾 Age: 6 months (as of May 2025)
🌎 Rescued from Puerto Rico, parvo survivor, and full of heart
🐶 Great with other dogs—loves playing and learning from them
👧 Has done well with kids
🏠 Crate trained and house trained
🚶 Good on leash but still gaining confidence with being leashed
🧠 Incredibly smart, observant, and Chow-like in his deep loyalty
🛋️ Not overly expressive, but quietly loving and full of potential
What He’s Looking For
✔️ A committed, patient adopter ready to continue his socialization
✔️ A calm, understanding environment that honors his shy nature
✔️ A resident dog to help guide him and bring out his playful side
✔️ A family who values loyalty and intelligence over outward showiness
✔️ A safe, stable home where he can settle in and open up at his own pace
Sampson may not be the dog who runs up to greet you right away—but give him time, and he’ll give you a lifetime of love, loyalty, and quiet companionship. This soulful pup has already survived the streets and sickness—now all he needs is someone to believe in him. Come meet Sampson this Sunday at PetSmart in Silver Spring, MD, and see the gentle heart behind those thoughtful eyes.
