Meet Sampson! 💙

Sampson is a BIG boy, and we know his size and looks might make some people think he’s a little intimidating. But don’t let that fool you. This handsome guy is actually a total baby and a true gentle giant. 🥹

Behind that big, tough exterior is a sweet boy who just wants some love and a person to call his own. Sampson is proof that you really can’t judge a book by its cover. ❤️

Come meet this big baby and see for yourself!

I was having trouble rechristening Ranch. The rule is generally “New life, new name” and I wanted something that might inspire.

Now I’m not saying the name on its own is everything, but let me tell ya why I picked it.

When I was at my lowest, it was a devil dog that helped me get my head on right. When I couldn’t look at myself in the mirror, that marine told me I was a rock star. He believed in me when I couldn’t believe in myself, and slowly but surely I started to stand tall again, to lift my chin, keep my eyes ahead, and keep moving forward.

So y’all please welcome K9 Chuck to the K9 Responder Foundation service dog training program. Upon successful completion of his training he will be paired with a veteran or first responder and if God willing he offers half the support and inspiration his namesake offered me, he’s going to make a heck of an impact on someone’s life.

Tommy - Thank you, brother 🤘

❤️ Weekly Buy It Now bundles ❤️

Each week, new bundles will be offered in an attempt to move some of the thousands of socks that I have. If you prefer, they can be donated to a local organization who helps people experiencing homelessness.

Funds this week benefit Lucky Pup Rescue SC’s vet bill.

Our goal is to send these 20 pairs to Rachel Smoak Ballenger through sponsorship. She is a school nurse, and these are her students favorite socks!
