Simon is a 2 1⁄2-year-old, 25-pound terrier mix who lost his home when his people passed away. He’s used to living as a cherished family member, and it shows in his manners and the way he looks for connection. Simon is an insecure guy who bonds quickly with women, and though he can be wary of men at first, he really opens up once trust is built. He’s best suited for an adult-only home with prior experience handling insecure dogs. Simon craves activity—he’s happiest playing fetch, exploring on walks or hikes, or rolling around for belly rubs. Toys keep him busy, and he serves as a keen little property alert system. He’s warming up to the household cat and needs to live with another small, strong-willed female dog to feel his best. Simon is neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccines, and housebroken; he uses a dog door and follows basic cues like "sit" and "paw." Some puppyish habits sneak through—like playful hand nibbles—so a bit of ongoing training wouldn’t hurt, especially with a leash. A confident, quiet household, routine, and encouragement will help Simon truly flourish. They are ready to love you; are you ready to apply?
