Samson, a year old pup, was given up by his owners as they prepared for the arrival of a new baby. He was left for adoption at the Anti-Cruelty Society around Christmas of 2009. Saddened by the situation, the Anti-Cruelty Society took Samson to a special jazz nativity and animal adoption event at Saint Luke Renaissance Church on Belmont. During the event, it seemed that the smaller dogs were receiving most of the attention and yet, Samson seemed to be creating a life long friend in Pastor Dave. Two days later, Pastor Dave called the Anti-Cruelty Society to inform them that he had found Samson a new home at Greenview Place. Since his adoption, Samson's tale has never stopped wagging. He paces proudly through the hallways in his Greenview t-shirt and collar. This powerful pooch has recently been promoted to a new position as the the Chief Executive of Smiles. He can be found in almost any corner of Greenview Place (except the dining room), handing out business cards and greeting residents.
