Simon

Description

Looking for a best friend? Meet Simon — a handsome 3 year old Springer Spaniel with adorable floppy ears, and the biggest heart.  Simon is sweet, affectionate, hilarious, and a total Velcro dog who loves being close to his people. Whether he’s following you from room to room, or making you laugh with his goofy personality, Simon truly just wants to be part of the family. He knows his basic commands, has lots of energy and loves his walks, and is house trained. He loves to run and is a pro at playing fetch with his yellow ball.  He can take a minute to warm up to new people, but once he trusts you, he is incredibly loyal, loving, and devoted.Simon is dog friendly. His previous owner said that he would prefer not to have any kitty siblings. Hs has a strong prey drive and loves to chase birds and squirrels. Because of that, he absolutely needs to be kept securely on a leash or lead when outside or be in a home with a fenced yard. Due to his past home life, Simon struggles with separation anxiety and would do best in a home where someone is around most of the time. We think he would thrive with someone who works remotely, is retired, or is a stay-at-home parent. He is currently working with a trainer to improve his anxiety, and will need someone to continue implementing strategies to help calm him. Simon needs a home where he can feel safe and secure. He will also need patience and continued help with crate training, as being confined can make him anxious right now. Simon needs a patient adopter to help him learn to become more independent. In return, you’ll get endless love, constant companionship, and a dog who will become your shadow in the very best way. If you’re looking for a snuggle buddy, walking companion, and loyal best friend with a huge personality and an even bigger heart, Simon is your guy. Apply for Simon today at pawsacrosspittsburgh.com/adopt.
