Description

Meet Sampson, a delightful, smiley 8-year-old Pit Bull Terrier mix who is young at heart and ready to find his perfect forever home!

Despite his age, Sampson has a spirited personality and a zest for life that is truly infectious. While he may struggle with overarousal and anxiety during the first few days in a new environment, he quickly settles down and adapts well. One of Sampson's favorite ways to relax and find comfort is through belly rubs. This gentle giant absolutely adores the affectionate touch of a caring hand and will gladly soak up all the love and attention you can give. His sweet disposition shines through, and he is known for his loving nature and big heart. Sampson is a pretty good walker and doesn't get bothered by too much. Going for strolls with him will not only provide him with physical exercise but also help him feel more comfortable and confident in his surroundings.

With a bit of guidance and positive reinforcement, Sampson will surely become an excellent walking companion, enjoying the sights and sounds of the great outdoors. Currently weighing 119 pounds, Sampson could benefit from a weight management plan to ensure he stays in good health. A balanced diet and regular exercise, including those enjoyable walks, will help him maintain a healthy weight and overall well-being. If you're looking for a loyal and affectionate companion who may need a little extra time to adjust to his new home, Sampson is the perfect match for you. His loving nature and youthful spirit make him a joy to be around, and his gentle demeanor will win your heart over in no time. Open your home to this amazing senior dog, and you'll be rewarded with a lifetime of love, cuddles, and belly rubs. Call today to set up an appointment to meet Sampson so you can discover the joy he can bring to your life!

    Breed info

    The American Pit Bull Terrier (APBT) is a dog breed recognized by the United Kennel Club (UKC) and the American Dog Breeders Association (ADBA), but not the American Kennel Club (AKC). It is a medium-sized, intelligent, short-haired dog, of a solid build, whose early ancestors came from the British Isles. When compared with the English Staffordshire Bull Terrier, the American Pit Bull Terrier is larger by margins of 6–8 inches (15–20 cm) in height and 25–35 pounds (11–16 kg) in weight. The American Pit Bull Terrier varies in size: males are normally about 18–21 inches (45–53 cm) in height and around 35–60 pounds (15–27 kg) in weight, while females are normally around 17–20 inches (43–50 cm) in height and 30–50 pounds (13–22 kg) in weight. According to the ADBA, the American Pit Bull is prescribed to be medium-sized and has a short coat and smooth well-defined muscle structure, and its eyes are to be round to almond-shaped, and its ears are to be small to medium in length, typically half prick or rose in carriage. The tail is prescribed to be slightly thick and tapering to a point. The coat is required by the ADBA to be glossy, smooth, short, and stiff to the touch. Many colors, color patterns, and combinations of colors are acceptable to the ADBA, except that both the ADBA and UKC do not recognize merle coloring. Color patterns that are typical in the breed are solid and tuxedo. Despite the colloquial use of the term "pit bull" to encompass a whole category of dogs and the legal use of the term to include several breeds in legislation, some conservative professional breeders of the American Pit Bull Terrier as well as some experts and supporters claim that historically the APBT is the only true "pit bull" and the only breed that should be denominated as such. Twelve countries in Europe, as well as Australia, Canada, the United States, Ecuador, Malaysia, New Zealand, Puerto Rico, Singapore, and Venezuela, have enacted some form of breed-specific legislation on pit bull–type dogs, including American Pit Bull Terriers, ranging from outright bans to restrictions and conditions on ownership. The state of New South Wales in Australia places restrictions on the breed, including mandatory sterilization. The breed is banned in the United Kingdom, in the Canadian province of Ontario, and in many locations in the United States.
