Meet Samson, a 7½-year-old, 15-lb Red Boar Dachshund who is just beginning to learn what it’s like to be a beloved pet. As a retired breeder, Samson wasn’t shown the usual attention that family dogs receive, so patience is key to winning his heart. While he’s shy at first, you can see he wants hugs and kisses—he just needs gentle guidance to fully trust.
Samson is calm and quiet, making him suitable for ground-floor apartments or homes with an attached fenced yard, though he prefers a warmer climate than Tennessee. He’s not a barker and gets along well with both male and female dogs, as well as cats.
