Story
Animal Profile: Simon is an estimated 10.5 month old male Dobie/Hound mix that a good samaritan in south Texas took in along with his 4 siblings. They joined us in the PNW on 12/9. Foster Update: Simon arrived from Texas in December emaciated, weighing just 30 pounds, and terrified of everything. Now a muscular 60 pounds, he's thriving in his foster home on a small farm with seven other dogs and three cats. He's high energy, playful, and very puppyish, Simon would love a forever home with space to run; another large, playful dog to help him burn off energy; plenty of toys and chews to entertain him (he loves ALL toys); and people who will appreciate and return his affection and his love of snuggling. Still prone to being anxious and barky with new people and new animals, Simon's family should be ready to continue working on his confidence in new situations, helping him overcome his stranger-danger, and teaching him appropriate boundaries. Food-oriented and eager to please, Simon is a quick learner who has the potential to be a good running buddy and enjoy dog sports like agility (once he's finished growing). He does well in his playpen or crate (with chews and toys to entertain him) when his people are away. He loves cats but wants to play with them, so could be overwhelming for a shy cat, but does well with dog-savvy cats who aren't afraid of his boisterousness. This sweet, expressive, affectionate boy has big love to give and will make a fabulous lifelong companion for someone willing to put in the work to help him be his best self.-- Adoption Info: Adoption fee is $550, which includes spay/neuter, current vaccinations per AVMA standards, microchip, negative heartworm test if over 6 months, and health certificate.
