About Simon

Meet Simon! This sweet little guy is looking for a quiet home and a patient adopter who will allow him to settle in at his own pace. At around 13 pounds, Simon can be shy and unsure when meeting new people, especially with touches. He needs someone who understands the value of giving him space and time to build trust on his own terms. Once Simon feels comfortable, he relaxes and loves to curl up in a lap. Although he's not quite ready to play yet, high-value treats, especially cheese, have caught his attention. He takes treats gently, which can be a great starting point for bonding. Simon has experience living with other dogs and might appreciate having a canine companion with slow introductions. Continued positive training and socialization will help him feel more secure around people and boost his confidence in new situations. This calm, understanding dog is best suited for a home with kids aged 16 and older who will respect his boundaries. If you’re ready to give this little sweetheart the time he needs to come out of his shell, he could be the perfect companion for you! Ask our staff about Simon's medical needs!
