About Simon the Maltese

Meet Simon the Maltese, a friendly 3-year-old weighing in at 10 lbs. This little guy came to us from a local shelter as a stray, found in an empty lot. His previous conditions required a shave, but his cute face shines through. As his fur grows back, he’ll become even more handsome. Simon is an active, happy dog who enjoys being around people. Currently recovering from his neuter surgery, we haven't seen the full extent of his energetic nature yet. He's ready to find his forever home where he can share his joy and companionship.
