Simon

Meet Simon — a 7-year-old, 40-pound (on a wellness journey toward 30!) terrier-ish, maybe-beagle-ish gentleman who has bounced back from pancreatitis and is officially back in business: eating, drinking, pottying, and thriving like a pro. <br/><br/>Simon is the kind of dog who makes you say, “Wow, you’re really easy to live with.” He’s gentle, polite, and comes with some factory-installed manners. He knows sit, paw, other paw (overachiever), and has clearly dabbled in heel at some point in his life. On walks, he’s mostly a total gentleman — other animals may spark his interest, but he’s easily redirected and keeps his cool.<br/><br/>At home, Simon is a loyal shadow who quietly follows you from room to room, then calmly minds his business when you leave. He doesn’t need a crate — he hangs out politely in his guest-room suite at night and when you’re out, no complaints or shenanigans. He enjoys walks, a good game of fetch, and being a devoted desk-side coworker who never steals your lunch.<br/><br/>>> Simon’s wishlist:<br/>• A quieter home with adults and/or teens<br/>• A human committed to his glow-up journey (about 10 lbs to lose)<br/>• Lifelong low-fat prescription food, regular exercise, and a routine that keeps his pancreas happy and joints comfy<br/><br/>Simon is a sensitive soul who likes calm vibes and predictable days. While he’s been fine with kids, cats, and other dogs, it’s clear he’d be happiest where things are peaceful and he doesn’t have to share his favorite furniture or nap spots with a full cast of characters. He may be a little selective with animal roommates and prefers quality over quantity in his inner circle.<br/><br/>If you’re looking for a sweet, loyal, quietly wonderful companion who will walk nicely at your side, nap politely nearby, and take his health journey seriously (with your help), Simon is ready to be your steady, soulful sidekick. <br/><br/>If you are interested in finding out more about Simon, please fill out an adoption application by copying and pasting the following link into your browser:<br/><br/>https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/BRO/Dog<br/><br/>Simon is being fostered in Sutton, MA.<br/><br/>The adoption fee is $500.<br/><br/>Like Broken Tail Rescue on Facebook!.<br/><br/>Follow Broken Tail Rescue on Instagram!<br/><br/><br/>Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable, so for most of the dogs, we are only guessing at the predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each dog as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not by breed label.<br/><br/>We expect that all adopted dogs will enroll in a formal dog training class with their new owners. Obedience and training classes are an excellent way to learn more about your newly adopted dog, gain handling and training experience, and improve your relationship with your pet.
