Adoptable Dogs

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?

International Adult Meet Ginger! Ginger comes from the same heartbreaking hoarding situation many other Samsons rescues came from involving 70+ 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. 🐾

International Adult Meet Goblin, aka Go-Go! 🐾 This sweet little guy was found tied up outside of a shelter, and while we don’t know much about what his life looked like before that, we do know one thing: he deserves the very best from here on out. Goblin is estimated to be 7–8 years old and about 15 lbs. He spent five years in the shelter waiting for his chance at a new life, and now he’s finally getting to discover what it feels like to be safe, loved, and cared for. Go-Go is currently in foster, where he’s learning what life outside of the shelter can look like. He’s an incredibly gentle, sweet boy who is still learning that the world isn’t such a scary place. He’s working on things like walking on leash, wearing a harness, and feeling confident in new environments. He may need a little patience, but every day he’s learning how to be brave. After waiting five long years, Go-Go is ready for someone who will give him the time, love, and safety he’s always deserved. 🤍

Medical Hold - Domestic Adult Meet Fifi! 🎀 Fifi is a tiny senior girl with a whole lot of personality packed into just 5 lbs. At around 11 years old, she was found as a stray and eventually landed on the*euthanasia list while needing significant medical care. During her intake, a crater-like mass was found on her ear, along with severe dental disease. Fifi has already undergone surgery, including the removal of her ear, and she still has additional procedures ahead of her as we work to get her as healthy and comfortable as possible. But despite everything she’s been through, Fifi is so spunky, silly, and trusting. She loves people, loves to dramatically roll onto her back for pets, and has absolutely no problem letting you know when she wants something--in the most demanding little Chihuahua way possible. 😂 Fifi is currently in a medical foster, where she’s getting all the care and love she needs. She still has a lot of healing ahead of her before she’ll be ready for her forever home, so for now, her only job is to rest, recover, and be spoiled. 🤍 We’ll continue sharing updates on our tiny one-eared queen as she works toward her next chapter.

*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.

International Adult ADOPTION PENDING -- I'm Jerry, a sweet 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.
