About this Dog
Meet Sampson, a charming 2.5-year-old Chihuahua mix (11 lbs) rescued from a high-kill shelter in Bakersfield. This lively boy is the perfect blend of energy and affection, loving snuggles, fetch, and being right in the middle of family life. He gets along wonderfully with cats, kids, and other dogs, though he feels most comfortable around smaller pups as big dogs can make him a bit nervous. Sampson is quiet and well-behaved, as well as house- and crate-trained (where he sleeps at night). He's an excellent adventure companion who enjoys daily walks, hikes, and car rides, always ready to explore with his favorite humans. When he's not out adventuring, you'll find him delighting in his toys and bursting into adorable zoomies around the house before settling into an afternoon snooze. This social butterfly is looking for a loving family where he can be a cherished companion. Could Sampson be the perfect addition to your home? If you would like to meet Sampson, please click HERE to fill out an application! He's also available for foster to adopt. His adoption fee is $495 and covers vaccinations, microchip, and neuter.

Adopt Sampson and Receive Sampson's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Sampson's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Sampson's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Sampson, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Sampson's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Sampson was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Sampson’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Sampson’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Sampson’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
