My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Please contact Anna Colllins (anna.collins@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.Simon says take me home with you!

SIMON NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!!

 

Come meet Simon and other great adoptable dogs this Sunday (Oct. 13th) from 12-3 pm at the Petsmart in Rockville (5154 Nicholson Ln, Kensington, MD 20895)!

 

 

Name:  Simon        Best Guess for Breed: Lab and basset hound mix

Best Guess for Age:  7 months as of September 2024       SEX: Male

 

Approximate Weight: 22 lbs as of 9/7/24; he is still growing!

 

Gets Along With:  Simon is good with other dogs! He's also done well living with the cat in his foster home. We haven't seen him with kids but he can be tested.

 

Currently Living at:  DC area foster home

 

Special Adoption Considerations: After being rescued from the streets, he was very scared and shut down. However, he has been making great strides. We think Simon would do best with either a resident dog or a family who can make sure he can go on walks regularly with other dogs, visit the dog park, or go to doggie daycare to continue to build confidence.

 

Simon is Looking For:  His forever home! Simon is from a Puerto Rico shelter, barely out of puppyhood, and hasn't seen nearly enough of the world. He's eager to get his own humans in the DC area. Long sniffy walks, romps in the park, all the adventures his new family can dream up - yes, please! Making new pup and people pals along the way sounds great to him too. Most of all, though, he wants to know he's safe and loved and under his own roof. 

He's a Very Good Boy who will make an awesome, loyal, loving companion. What do you say? Will he be yours?

What My Foster Says About Me:  Simon is a very sweet, happy, playful and outgoing boy. He loves going for walks, exploring new places and doesn't pull on the leash. He's always ready to play whether that's with other dogs, humans or toys.

 

Considering that Simon is from the streets of Puerto Rico and has never lived in a home before, he's been doing great. He doesn't try to get into trash or other shenanigans. He's still working on potty training and adjusting to the fact he has to be alone sometimes, but I think he'll get there with some patience and training. 

 

Simon is a fantastic telework buddy and quietly snoozes or plays with his toys while I work. 

His favorite time is meal time and he'll gobble up anything you offer him. He's also yet to meat a treat he hasn't liked. 

Simon is a very good, happy-go-lucky boy and doesn't let much get him down!

Lucky Dog cannot guarantee any dog is housebroken.  All of our dogs are working on their crate training.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

The adoption process begins when you submit an adoption application either online or at an adoption event. The individual responsible for the dog you are interested in adopting - a position we call the “adoption coordinator” - will then set up a time to discuss your application over the telephone. The adoption coordinator will check your vet reference to make sure all current and past pets were kept up-to-date with their shots and medical care. The adoption coordinator will also set up a home visit with one of our trained volunteers. That individual will come to your home to ensure that it is a safe environment, to confirm that everyone in the home is on board with adopting a dog, and to discuss any other questions you may have about dog adoption!

Go meet their pets

Our adoption events are held each weekend. A schedule of times and locations can be found at www.luckydoganimalrescue.org.
