About Simon

Meet Simon, a sweet Chihuahua who has faced tough times but now seeks a loving home. He was found wandering alone in the cold, scared and wary of the world around him. After being rescued by Mama Dog Rescue, he’s slowly beginning to feel secure. Simon can be a bit skittish, so he needs an adopter who will approach him with patience and understanding. He responds well to gentle handling, and while he’s come a long way, he still shows signs of nervousness when picked up. Simon is food-motivated, and you can hear his enthusiastic howls for meal times. He enjoys walks and has even played with kids in the rescue, showing he can warm up to a caring environment. Although he's still perfecting his potty training, he’s eager to learn. Simon's health is a priority; he’s been altered, vaccinated, and receives holistic care, including a balanced diet and supplements, which he'll continue to need in his forever home. The rescue emphasizes the importance of maintaining this holistic approach to ensure his well-being. If you think you can give Simon the patient and loving home he deserves, he'd be thrilled to meet you!
