Meet Samson

Update 9/9: Samson has been enjoying his time in foster to decompress! His favorite activities have been sunbathing and rolling around with a toy. He did well meeting another dog! Samson’s stress has been increasing lately in shelter and we are looking for an urgent foster, adopter, or rescue! He's been seen circling in the kennel, pacing, panting excessively, and seeming generally more frantic than we've seen him. :( Samson does great playing with other dogs, but unfortunately does not have this outlet right now due to a recurring limp that has been tricky to heal in shelter. He has done well meeting people/ here and will sit and present his paw for treats, but was reported to be a bit more nervous in a previous home. Please get in touch with us ASAP if you may be able to offer Samson help getting out of the shelter! Fosters: Apply at vcas.us/foster, and email vcar.foster@ventura.orgRescues: Reach out to vcar.rescue@ventura.orgAdopters: Please visit Samson at 600 Aviation Drive, Camarillo CA or email animal.care@ventura.org for more information. @vcanimalservices Watching these goobers play is the best part of my day working at the shelter ?? both boys are available to adopt!
