About Simon

**Simon**

Meet Simon! This happy 8-month-old pug/husky mix has a tan coat, a black muzzle, and a grin that will melt you on the spot. Simon is a champion cuddler with plenty of puppy energy - always up for playtime, exploring, and making new friends - and he’s doing great with potty training (kennel training is a work in progress). He takes treats gently and is just learning what dog toys are, along with basic training and puppy manners. He’s great with kids, cats, and other dogs, and he’s learning to trust people and building confidence as he discovers what a loving home is. Simon would do best with a patient family who’ll give him time to blossom. He’s in foster care in Belton, MO.

More about adopting from ARF

Every dog here costs something to care for

Vet visits, vaccines, heartworm treatment, food, the occasional emergency. ARF runs on donations and fundraisers. That’s what pays for all of it.
