A SWEET & HANDSOME FELLOW:  Approx. 5 years old / Approx. 18 lbs. Hi there!  My name is Simon!  I came to Mostly Mutts from animal control and I’m so glad they brought me into the Mostly Mutts family.  I am soaking up all the love and attention from the volunteers here and I heard them say that I’m now ready to find a family of my very own.  I think that is the best news ever!  Plan to come meet me soon and see if I am your new furry family member! • OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS:  I met other dogs at Mostly Mutts and played more with the female dogs.  I also came in with a few other dogs.  So, if you have a dog at home already, let’s meet! / Cats unknown. / I met kids at Mostly Mutts and avoided them, though I didn’t show any aggression, so if you have kids 10+ years old, let’s meet as younger kids make me very nervous. • PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL:  I can be a little timid at first, but I’m very sweet and warm up with a little patience.  Once I feel comfortable, my playful and affectionate side comes out - I’ve had the zoomies in the play yard and even like hopping up on the bench!  I can be a bit jumpy around unfamiliar people or new things, but it’s easily managed and usually just part of my playful, curious nature.  I wasn’t a fan of the bath sprayer, though I handled the rest of my bath like a champ. I was pretty scared during my photo shoot, but with time and kindness, my sweet personality really shines. / Energy level: 4-6.    • SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY:  I am a student in the Mostly Mutts University training program where so far, I have learned the ‘sit’ and ‘come’ commands and I also accept friendly strangers without jumping and use proper door etiquette.  Check back soon to see what else I’ve learned!  I am new to leash walking, so please be patient with me on this. Mostly Mutts offers free lifetime training classes for all their adopted dogs, so let’s do some more training together. / I’m doing well in my crate at Mostly Mutts. / I’m doing well with my potty manners on the shelter schedule.  • LIKES/DISLIKES:  I’m interested in toys, like treats, love running around the play yards at Mostly Mutts, and enjoy playing with the nice volunteers.  Once I’m settled into my new home, I’m sure we’ll discover even more fun things to enjoy together! / Cars driving by make me a little nervous.  Other than that, I can’t think of any dislikes, though like all dogs, I’m sure I wouldn’t like it if I didn’t get enough love, attention, exercise, and training. • MEDICAL:  I'm current on annual vaccinations, micro-chipped and neutered.  You may notice that I have some tear staining, but there are over-the-counter products that you can try to help with this. I’m a sweetie who is looking for a kind and gentle family that will love and take great care of me!  My adoption fee is $299.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga.
