I'm Simon, a spirited dog with a heart full of love waiting to be shared. My journey has taken me from Jordan to Dog Tales, and I'm hopeful that I can find a forever home where I can truly shine.
I'm a playful and energetic guy, always ready for an adventure. Once I know and trust you, I'm incredibly loving and affectionate. I promise to be your loyal companion, cherishing every moment we share together.
While I have a lot of love to give, there are a few things you should know about me: I can't be with other dogs, kids, or cats; and it's important to understand that I may bite people I don't like, so very slow introductions with new people are essential for everyone's safety.
My past experiences have made me cautious around new faces, but I'm ready to move forward and create a positive future with a loving family. I'm looking for someone patient and understanding who can take the time to build trust with me. Once I know you're a friend, I'll shower you with all the love and affection I have to offer.
If you're willing to invest time and effort into creating a bond with me, I'm ready to embark on this journey with you. Together, we can create a beautiful connection that will last a lifetime.
