About Simon

Meet Simon, a lovable 9-year-old Chihuahua who has a heart full of love and a gentle spirit. Although Simon has limited vision, he’s eager to explore his surroundings, showcasing his adventurous nature. He was rescued from the streets of Texas and has thrived in a caring environment, patiently waiting for a forever home. Simon is a snuggly companion who enjoys a peaceful atmosphere. He’s friendly with both dogs and cats, making him a versatile addition to your family. Although he’s crate trained and does well with outdoor potty breaks, he also appreciates using pads inside. Simon walks reasonably well on a leash and is not dependent on having a fenced yard. If you believe you could be the special family Simon is looking for, consider welcoming this sweet boy into your life. Don’t forget, you can apply to adopt him directly through the Rosebud Rescue website, but be ready for a meet-and-greet as long-distance adoptions require some extra travel to Buffalo, NY.
