About Simon

Meet Simon! This adorable 5-month-old, 26-pound bundle of joy is officially looking for his forever family. He’s a smart and adaptable puppy, already mastering the basics of home life and proving to be a dream in foster care. Simon excels in his routine. His kennel training is going great; he sleeps soundly, treating it like his safe space. Potty training is a success too—he hasn't had a single accident inside! Described by his foster family as a quick learner eager to please, Simon is ready for all the training you can provide. With his playful personality, Simon has plenty of fun energy to share, balanced by his gentle soul. He recently passed the kid-test with flying colors when he met the neighbor’s four young children. He was sweet, patient, and loved the attention. As for kitties, Simon showed minimal interest. After a quick, polite sniff of the household cats, he moved on, showing he can coexist with feline friends. He’ll thrive as his family helps guide him through new experiences. If you're looking for a smart, sweet, and perfectly sized companion for family adventures, Simon is ready to steal your heart! He is located in Houston, TX, and can be transported to most states for an additional fee.
