Story
Keely is around 5 years old and weighs 13 pounds. While she is sociable with other dogs, she is not confident around humans. She was rescued from a hoarding situation, is shy, and would require an experienced and/or very patient handler. We are positive she would evolve into a trusting pet with continued confidence building. She will require a calm, quiet, patient home willing to let her adjust at her own pace without asking her to engage socially with children or people she does not know. If this listing is still posted, we are still accepting applications. We do not do out-of-state adoptions. We do not hold dogs, please submit your application when you are ready to adopt. If you are interested in meeting any Poochmatch dog, please visit our website to complete an adoption application. It is in the ADOPTION folder at the top of our home page. Just fill in the blanks and SEND. We commonly receive multiple applications for a single dog. Nevertheless, only one applicant will be invited to meet a dog on Saturday at Petsmart in Yorba Linda between noon and 3 pm OR on a mutually agreeable day, time and place during the week. All adoption fees cover the mandatory and non-negotiable spay/neuter, rabies, microchip, microchip registration, full sets of core vaccinations (rabies and 1 set of distemper/parvo for adults, 4 for puppies) and deworming. Adoption fees vary based on age, breed, size and the costs incurred on the dog's behalf by us i.e. medical, behavioral training, etc.

Story
This adorable old guy has had a rough life. Dumped on the street, blind and nearly deaf, he must have been terrified. We cleaned him up and are giving him lots of love to make up for the neglect he has endured. If you are looking for a companion to sit with, Simon would love that. A senior would be a perfect fit for Simon. All this sweet boy needs is a quiet home without too much activity. If you would like to meet Simon, please complete the adoption application on our website www.muttlycrew.org
