Our Dogs
Cade aka Big Stinky
Domestic Adult SAMSONS LONGEST RESIDENT!!! Heddo! My name is Cade (I also respond to Big Stinky!), I’m a 5 year old, 90ish lb, American Bulldog, and I've been waiting FOUR YEARS to be adopted!!! I was rescued by Samson's Sanctuary after I was dumped out of a car in Azusa, CA in April 2022. I may be a big guy, but I have a big heart full of love to give. I love nothing more than to sprawl out on the couch, flip over and let my belly be exposed to the world. It's my favorite position to sleep in, and it shows how comfortable and relaxed I am in my home. Because of my past, I’m a bit cautious around new men. It's not that I don't like men, I just need time to warm up to them. I'm more comfortable at first if a female is around too. Once I trust you, though, I will love you fiercely and never forget you. I'm best bros with all of my foster dads friends! They take me on fun adventures! Oh boy, do I love adventures! I'm always up for a good hike in the great outdoors. I love to be in water! There's so much to explore and so many new smells to sniff. I love getting my nose into everything and finding out what's around the next corner. When I'm out hiking, I like to take my time and really soak it all in. I especially love to find the biggest stick I can, and parade it around like a trophy. I’m independent but I do love spending time together, I prefer my people to be home with me but I don’t need to be in the same room with you always. I will rest my big head on your lap occasionally and I will sit in your lap for butt scratches. I prefer to be pet on my back until I trust you and then you can touch my head. I get along great with other dogs my size and smaller as long as they are friendly, but I do like to chase cats, so we probably wouldn’t be the best roommates. My foster pawrents even had a baby and i listen so good and am gentle near the baby. One thing you should know about me is that I'm food motivated. If you've got a tasty treat for me, I'll do just about anything you ask and I will drool to prove it. And if someone comes to the door, I'll be sure to let you know. I'm a great guard dog and always on alert. I LOVE squeaky toys and tug of war. I’m also very fond of BONES and frozen tasty treats. I’ve been in foster care for almost FOUR YEARS! But, my foster mom and trainer work hard on teaching me new skills and giving me structure and boundaries. I walk with a loose leash, although i prefer off leash now that I have worked hard on my recall, I am e collar trained, muzzle trained, I know multiple commands, and will work for food. I don’t mean to brag but I am extremely smart and learn very quickly! I enjoy toys that provide mental stimulation and I'd love a yard of my own for my zoomies. But if you'll take me to the park, I love that too! I even have my own social media @CadeTheBulldog ! Check out all my awesome adventures! All I really want is a caring and patient pawrent or family who will love me for who I am and take me on all sorts of adventures, even better if you have previous American Bulldog experience. Can i be your snugglebuddy furever?
Stardust
International Adult Meet Stardust, the sweetest, most gentle and calm little lady in LA! Stardust is a 2 year old jindo mix who came to LA all the way from South Korea. She’s about 35 pounds of pure sweetness - the perfect mid-size gal! Starry is a quiet and shy couch potato and loves to lounge around with her human. Stardust has such a gentle and kind demeanor, we know that once she meets her new PAWrents she will open her heart to them and give them so much love. Stardust had a rough past - she was rescued as a puppy (with her brother Ziggy) from the illegal meat trades in South Korea. She then spent over a year in the Korean shelter, before taking her freedom flight to LA. Because she’s been through so much, Stardust is a very cautious and timid pup who would do best in a patient family who is committed to working through her fear so she can grow into the confident dog we know she can be! In the home she's relaxed and chill, and she is working hard on building confidence outside. She does great with other dogs and cats, too! Stardust has the biggest heart and will make the PAWfect addition to her new family. Plus, she is lucky enough to be fostered with one of our trusted professional trainers, so she has excellent manners! And whoever adopts Stardust will get FREE training support fur life! Apply to adopt Stardust today!
Hope
International Adult Hi, I’m HOPE, and boy do I hope you’ll give me a chance. I’m a 2ISH year old, 52 lb male jindo/retriever mix! Not to brag, but my foster mama has fostered 12+ dogs and says I'm the easiest one yet! I have a sunny disposition and am a very calm, gentle and loving boy. I love to greet my people with soft kisses and a warm doggy smile. Some people even say I give off a soothing energy and might make for an awesome emotional support dog if given the proper training! Plus, I have a silly side! My favorite thing to do (besides hang out with you!) is to roll around in the grass. It so fun! In the home, I'm a big time couch potato! But I do love taking walks and having playdates with my doggy pals! I do great with cats too! I have been through a lot in my short life. I spent the first 1.5 years chained up in a filthy junk yard in South Korea. My “owner” finally surrendered me to Samson’s Sanctuary, and I was so excited to get the love and care I deserve! Now I'm thriving in my foster home, and I have HOPE that my furever family is out there! Apply to adopt me today!
Burrito
International Adult Look no further - we've found the Best Burrito in LA! Our handsome and sweet boy Burrito was rescued (with his four babies - Ceviche, Salsa, Enchilada and Taquito) from horrible neglect and physical abuse. He spent the first 6 or 7 year of his life chained up outside of a factory in South Korea where he spent his days in fear of his abusers. But he is safe now and thriving! As soon as we rescued Burrito, we took him to the vet where he was treated for heartworm, and he's now a healthy and happy little hunk. He recently took his freedom flight from Korea to LA and is loving life in his first ever foster home. Despite his past, Burrito is a super low-maintenance and chill dude! He loves to relax in the house, hang on the porch and watch the world go by, and get all the treats and love. Whoever adopts this low-riding dude is going to be so lucky! Apply to adopt this papa pup today!
Ginger
International Adult Meet Ginger! Ginger comes from the same heartbreaking hoarding situation many other Samsons rescues came from involving 75+ dogs in South Korea. She's about 4 years old and 30 lbs. Her early life lacked stability, safety, and the chance to just be a dog and because of that, Ginger can be a little shy at first. Beneath that shyness is a gentle soul who is quietly waiting for someone to choose her. Ginger is searching for her freedom flight to the U.S., and she needs a committed foster or adopter in order to make that journey possible. She will need a patient, understanding home where she can slowly build confidence and learn that the world isn’t such a scary place. With consistency, kindness, and love, Ginger has the potential to truly blossom. All she needs is someone willing to take that first step with her. If you can be Ginger’s safe landing, as a foster or adopter, you can help change her life forever. 🐾
Jerry
International Adult I'm Jerry, a gentle Jindo mix who’s ready for a fresh start. I come from a heartbreaking hoarding situation with 75+ dogs in South Korea, but even after everything I’ve been through, I’m still a sweet and resilient boy. I’m about 40 lbs, which makes me the perfect medium size — sturdy enough for adventures, but still very cuddly. I can be a little sensitive at first, so I’m looking for a patient, calm home where I can keep building my confidence at my own pace. I would do best in a cat-free home. What I really need is someone who believes in me — someone who knows that love, safety, and consistency can change everything. With time and kindness, I promise I’ll grow into the most loyal companion. In order for me to take my freedom flight, I need a committed foster or adopter. If you’re ready to give me the safe, loving home I deserve, I’m ready to meet you 🤍 Apply today.
Sally
International Adult Meet sweet Sally! She is a 3-year-old Jindo mix, about 30 lbs, with a heart full of sunshine. She was rescued from the Icheon meat farm in South Korea, and despite everything she’s endured, Sally greets the world with a smile and a wagging tail. She’s a happy, gentle girl who chooses joy every day — a true testament to her resilience. Sally is ready to trade her past for a future filled with safety, love, and cozy naps. She’s looking for a home where she can finally just be a dog — cherished, secure, and adored for the sweet soul she is. If you’re searching for a loving companion with a beautiful spirit, Sally might be your perfect match 🤍 Sally is next in line for a freedom flight but is still waiting for an adopter! Apply today!
Zoey
*COURTESY POST* Zoey was rescued by one of our trusted trainers and has been preparing to be your bestie!! From scared of humans to begging for snuggles — Zoey’s glow-up has been one for the books. This sweet shepherd has gone from keeping her distance to curling up for cuddles all on her own. Every week, she’s braver with new people and totally chill with dogs and cats. If you’ve got a little patience and a big heart, Zoey could be your next best friend. She walks great on leash in her comfort zones (and we’re slowly expanding those), is fully crate trained, and has zero reactivity or resource guarding. She just needs a calm, loving home to keep building her confidence. And the best part? Any family that adopts Zoey gets free lifetime training from me — so you’ll have support every step of the way. Shoot me a message if you’re ready to give this good girl her forever home. 🐾❤️ Please contact Carlo at carlo@thebeardeddogtrainer.com if you are interested.
