Samson The Big Puppy

Samson loves to play with balls and toys and he really loves to play with his rubber chicken.

Samson ID #5130

Samson came to the shelter on June 13th as a stray pick up. Samson is a beautiful Mastiff male and his personality is a joy to be around. He is a little bitty dog trapped in a big dog's body. Samson thinks and acts like he is a little dog. Samson loves to play with balls and toys and he really loves to play with his rubber chicken. Samson is approximatley 90-100 pounds of pure and love. He appears to be 2-4 years old but he thinks he is still a puppy. Samson will make a wonderful companion or family animal. Samson is on the IN DANGER list this week and if he is not adoted or rescued by Thursday afternoon, he will probably be put down. Please come see this guy and give him an opportunity to show you his many wonderful qualities.

If you are interested in adopting Samson, or any of the many other beautiful and sweet dogs or cats that are available for adoption, please visit the Douglas County Animal Shelter located at 1755 County Services Road (off Cedar Mountain Road). The shelter is open Tuesday through Saturday, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on Sunday from 2 to 5 p.m. The shelter is closed to the public on Monday, but open to rescue organizations on Mondays. The summer months are the critical months to adopt and rescue, so please consider giving one of these dogs or cats a loving and forever home.

To learn about other animals available for adoption at Douglas County Animal Control, view the DCAC PetFinder listings on their website. or see the DC shelter pets posted and profiled daily at Rainbow Connections on Facebook. also, please visit our sister page Furbabies of DCAS on facebook.

Pet listings on each of these pages are updated daily, therefore, some animals featured may be adopted prior to your arrival at the shelter and that after all is the goal. If the pet you are interested in has been adopted, please consider giving another of the many loveable pets an opportunity to be your forever friend and allow them to show you just how special they each are once they are given a chance.

Adoption fees for dogs and cats at DCAC is $25 and there is a $10 micro chip fee. $35 for the opportunity to make a friend for life and the opportunity to give a fur kid a forever home is a small price to pay. Don't forget, this month (July) there is a special half price adn freey spay neuter program for all kittens.

All dogs presently receive intake inoculations for kennel cough, parvo and distemper (cats receive distemper as part of a five way vaccination). All pets adopted from the shelter are required to have their rabies shots and be spayed or neutered within thirty days of adoption, unless they are kittens or puppies and they are given extended time. The Douglas County Animal Shelter phone: 770-942-5961. If the line is busy, please keep trying as there is often limited staff to answer calls. However, messages left will be returned as time permits.

Please contact this Southern States Mastiff Rescue site. I have, the more the better. They may be able to help get Sampson a new home. I'll pay the $35 for them to take Sampson out of the shelter.

Thank you Jamie. We did contact Southern States Mastiff Rescue about Sampson, but they only take English Mastiffs. However, Samson's info was also forwarded to Bull Mastiff Rescue and they are supposed to be coming to the shelter today to evaluate him and hopefully rescue him.

Also contact Boggs Mountain Humane Shelter in Rabun County, a no kill shelter that transfers dogs to areas in need of dog for adoptions. What a beautiful dog!

To Mr Bill Adams.....there is no such thing as a MODERN Christian. You are either a Christain or youRead More are not. While we as Christians love the sinner we are not to love the sin nor are we to back those sinners who are committing a sinful act. We should, however, with love in our hearts try to win their souls for God and preach what the Bible teaches. Which by the way, the Bible tells us it is wrong and a sin for a man to lie with a man.

I wonder how many gay teens were in that audience, who felt horror at that standing ovation? HowRead More many stood next to the parents who didn't know it wasn't a choice, who were standing and applauding next to a child who was already so emotionally torn up inside with the thought of telling these parents they were gay?? How many of these teens will commit suicide rather than tell these parents? Good move church, who is supposed to be preaching forgiveness, understanding and give support to the needy. Who decides what emotion is needy? Feeling gay, or thinking about getting a divorce, or losing your job and needing help? I am not gay, but I wholly believe in living, and let live, and helping where you can with no judgment! This church should be ashamed of itself! This is exactly why I don't go to church, and worship in my own way. They are all a bunch of hypocrites and should be ashamed of themselves.

Well said! I agree wholeheartedly. For those that want to look up the scripture, it's in LeviticusRead More 18:22 and 20:13. God spells it out perfectly what you are and are not supposed to do. If God is against it, man should be against it too.
