Have room for this guy?

Folks....it's been a while, I know. Sadly I'm coming back with some sad news. Sam and I have decided that we need to find Samson a new and better home. With our work schedules, and our tiny place and no yard...we feel that Samson is not living to his fullest potential. We would love to find him a new home where he would have plenty of space to run around in a back yard, and not have to go to a dog park with unfamiliar dogs. He's been a great pet, and is so affectionate with people, which is a huge blessing considering his background.

Samson is a rescued Great Dane and because of that we don't know exactly how he was treated by his first owners. Because of this, Samson needs special attention and owners who will take special care of him. He has had all his shots & vaccines, and has been neutered. He has also been on heart-worm prevention and flee treatment the whole time we've had him.

A little more background on Samson: He was born somewhere in Auburn. We do know that he was abandoned by the time he was about a year and half old, and fortunately was taken in by one of my old professors at Auburn. She and her husband rehabilitated him from a scrawny 90 lbs to the 150 lbs we took him at. He's been through so much and deserves a great home where he can preferably be the main pet. He's been fine around children ever since we've had him, but we feel he would do best around bigger kids or no kids at all. Because Samson is a protector at heart...(ya'll he really tries to protect me from other dogs by getting in between me and another dog I'm trying to pet!) he has had a couple incidents with other aggressive dogs. This is important to know if you're wanting a dog who you can take to the park and just not worry about it. That would NOT be this dog.

Samson is not aggressive until provoked by other aggressive dogs. Therefore, he does best socializing with dogs that are NOT dominant or aggressive dogs. This is also the reason why we feel he would do best in a place with a big back yard, so that he would not have to go to the park. I want to be honest, that has been one of our only set backs....HE IS OTHERWISE A GREAT DOG!

If you or anyone you know might be interested in knowing more about Samson....PLEASE let me know! You can email me at weg86@mac.com! Know that we will be very selective about this process to ensure that Samson gets the best home that we can find!
