Simon's Story

Hi, my name is Simon! I'm a RED pawprint, which means I need an experienced home that meets some specific criteria. Here is what would work best for me in my new home:<br/><br/>-Personality: Super smart, active, confident, loyal<br/><br/>-Can Live with Kids: Unknown history-- recommending sturdy, respectful, older kids 14+ at this time.<br/><br/>-Can Live with Cats: Unknown history, will need slow, supervised intro.<br/><br/>-Can Live with Dogs: Yes, should be fine with another dog of similar size/energy level/playstyle! Initial intros done at WHS.<br/><br/>-Can do Apartment Living: No, thanks! This big, active guy would do best in a home with a yard (fenced would be great, although not required.)<br/><br/>-Potty Trained: Appears to be!<br/><br/>-Bite History: No<br/><br/>-Positive Reward Based Obedience Classes Required: No<br/><br/>-Energy Level: High<br/><br/>-Needs Medical Procedure Before Going Home: No<br/><br/>-Additional Information: Simon is a high energy, high intelligence German Shepherd who, common to his breed, is struggling a little bit in the shelter environment. Working breeds like GSDs need lots of exercise and mental stimulation, and while we do our best to provide dogs with plenty of both during their time here, nothing beats what they're able to receive in a home environment! Simon would love an active, breed-experienced adopter who can provide him with all this and more. He seems like the type of dog who will form a very loyal bond with his person/people-- as those experienced with the breed know, the love and loyalty of a German Shepherd is unbeatable! If Simon sounds like the perfect fit for you, submit an application to come on in and meet him.<br/><br/>If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application on our website (www.whatcomhumane.org/adopt) or in person at our facility. We recommend calling into the shelter after your application has been submitted so our front desk can give you next steps on our adoption process.
