He sure does love those cars!!! Recently my parents moved to an area where there is a huge gated back yard where he gets to run and play, he loves it out there. My family has a ton of dogs so he gets to play with them as well. Also, he has a new kitten brother who he gets along with fantastically...its almost scarry! They play together all day long and then take long long naps afterwards. I can't say enough about how much we love and adore him. Thank you again for bringing Simon into our lives.

Just wanted to let you know that Simon is doing great! He has made tons of friends with his cousins back home, and he may even be getting a brother kitten (is that a brother???) We just love Simon, he fits in perfectly and has helped make our house whole.

Simon is doing GREAT! He is adjusting very well to his new home. No more car chasing activities for him. We have become very aware of just how much he loves the cars! He is testing us, however, to see what he can get away with...drinking out of the toilet! hahaha. Other than that, he is perfect. He loves to play, and sometimes mistakes my hand for a chew toy, but its all in good fun. He also gets to sleep in bed with us, but decides to sleep in his cage at times as well. Overall, We couldn't have asked for a better dog! I am so glad that we found him, we absolutely adore him.


A special thank you goes out to Simon's sponsors: Linda and James Wilson. Michael and Sherry Eckert in memory of Ezekial and Lechariah. Michael Wang. Sonia Ravin in honor of Sabrina. Rebecca Kuk in loving memory of her beloved Oscar the GSD. Thank you Rebecca Kuk for your continued contribution to Simon's care.

Simon is a 2 yr old, male-neutered, black/tan German Shepherd/Malamute mix,. He is a reserved and a laid back gentleman. Simon just likes to hang out. He is a people and dog watcher and seems to soak up all the information of his surroundings. He will stand on his back legs, nose to nose with you and stare into your eyes. You just get the feeling he understands everything that is going on. The shelter he was at had a volunteer that really loved Simon very much, and Simon was running out of time. He wasn't a pure bred Shepherd, but to save someone's friend, he was Shepherd enough for us.
