About Simona

Simona is looking for a warm lap to call home. Recently back from a foster vacation, she received glowing reviews as a gentle and sweet companion. This peaceful little dog thrives on attention and affection, and she truly deserves a calm space to enjoy her golden years. Getting along well with both large and small dogs, Simona prefers a home where she can be the center of affection, making her best suited for a setting with fewer pets. She's familiar with mellow cats and is both puppy-pad trained and potty trained for outdoor times. While she can be a bit shy around strangers, she blossoms quickly with a little patience. Simona is playful and energetic until she's ready to unwind, at which point she becomes the ultimate couch potato. She has a heart murmur and needs a loving person to help manage her medical care, but she's well-behaved when left alone and craves companionship. Come meet Simona at Pima Animal Care Center and give her the forever home she's been dreaming of. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
