🌟 Allow me to introduce you to the heartwarming Simon, a delightful 2 1/2 year old, 25-pound terrier mix with a story that could melt anyone's heart. This charming pup found himself looking for a new home when his beloved owners sadly passed away. Picture this: he wasn’t just a pet; oh no, Simon was a treasured family member who basked in love and care. 🥰 Simon, while being a little insecure, has a personality that shines like a diamond! ✨ He has a soft spot for women and, once he warms up to men, it's a bond that lasts a lifetime. Imagine your new best friend who loves to share the simple joys of life—fetch in the park or rambling through the woods, Simon’s energy is contagious! 🎾 He's looking for an adult-only home where he can feel safe and secure. Now, let’s chat about some of his favorite things! Simon is totally into belly rubs (who isn’t?!), and keeping himself entertained with toys. He’s quite the little watchdog too, always ready to alert when someone is near. What a charming trait, right? On the health front, Simon is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on his vaccines. 🏥 He’s quite the clever pup; he’s housebroken, beds by the dog door, and knows some basic commands like "sit" and "paw!" However, Simon still has a few playful puppy habits (like nibbling your hands during play), so a little refresher training in his forever home could do him wonders. Leash training? It's a work in progress, but he’s eager to learn! Simon’s adoption isn’t just about giving him a home; he requires someone with experience in handling insecure dogs—someone who understands his unique needs. Additionally, his forever home should include a small, bossy female dog who can guide him. 🐕 It’s vital that Simon finds peace in a quiet, adult-only household where he can truly thrive. For those living in the Phoenix metro area who think Simon might be a paw-sitive match for their home, his adoption fee is $350. 💖 If your heart has been touched by this wonderful boy, don’t wait! **Please apply through the Buddy App to bring Simon home.** Together, he and his new family can create countless cherished memories!
