This handsome boy is our teddy bear Samson also known as the Ginger Ninja, who is approximately 7 years old and neutered . His rescuers nicknamed him Shampoo because he liked being bathed.
Samson appears to be mainly Chow Chow but he is smaller than a full Chow and shorter coated. Apparently these types of dogs are quite rare in the UK.
We believe Samson was been beaten or hit on the side of the head which has blinded him in one eye. His tail has also been cut off half way along! Despite this, Samson is a lovely friendly, cuddly boy and loves grown ups. We think he would be better in a home without very young children as he is probably not used to them, but he would be fine with teenagers.
Samson true to his Chow instincts can be a bit stubborn, but overall he is a lovely affectionate boy who will make a great companion. He seems to be very low maintenance and doesn't particularly like very long walks. He is a quiet, calm boy who really is a sweetheart and he just loves a cuddle. He will chase small furries all day long though - he goes daft after squirrels.
He would love a big secure garden where he could sleep, sniff and mooch around in all day long. He doesn't cope well with the heat so on hot sunny days, he finds himself somewhere cool to snooze.
He seems fine with most other dogs although does have an issue with some males, occasionally grumbles but tends to avoid them. He would definitely chase cats
He was pretty adamant that he wasn't going in the back of the vehicle for the journey home so sat on the seat next to our volunteer who thinks he's gorgeous.
Samson is currently in foster and has paired up with another girl dog called Lemmy.
Samson has had a terrible life before coming to GSDR and we think he now deserves some good fortune in finding a home where they will love him and give him the attention he so deserves.
Can you offer our Ginger Ninja his forever home?
