Simon has been adopted! 11-01-2015
Simon was rescued from the shelter with "Puppy Strangles". His muzzle, ears and lymphnodes were all very swollen. He has healed well in foster care.
Simon is such a good puppy. Raised with multiple other dogs and a cat, he's always looking for someone to play with. Most likely he will be about 50 lbs when full grown. Simon absolutely LOVES playing in the water and although we haven't introduced him to a pool, we suspect he would be very happy and a great swimmer! He's absolutely the most adorable little guy with curly black fur. He is potty trained and enjoys being in his crate when required. He also loves getting treats when he's rewarded for good behavior.
While Simon will always have some scarring on his muzzle and around his eyes, it is just a reminder of the struggle he had to endure early in his life. He's now 100% healthy and the doctor doesn't expect any type of long-term effects from his illness. He's ready to start basic obedience training and will thrive with that as he's a quick learner and enjoys spending time with his humans.
The minimum adoption donation for adults is $375 and the adoption donation for puppies is $500. This amount only partially covers the cost of veterinary care, boarding fees, and other miscellaneous expenses involved in the temporary care and adoption of our dogs and is tax deductible when permitted by law. The adoption donation provides that all dogs will be spayed or neutered, receive current vaccinations, and are microchipped. If not, arrangements will be made on an individual basis ( i.e., puppies who will need to be altered by 6 mos old). Special consideration may be given to those willing to adopt older dogs or dogs with physical problems.
