NB: We do not rehome interstate or to applicants under 25. It is our policy not to rehome dogs in the Sunraysia area. As rescue groups have transported thousands of homeless dogs from Mildura and Sunraysia pounds over the last decade, we do not intend to send any back there.

Simon is a gorgeous little boy who is looking for someone to spend all the time in the world with. A certified house-trained dog, Simon is a gorgeous lad who is infatuated with neck scratches and loves giving kisses. Simon is great with other dogs and is amazing with older children and adults and is also unbothered by any cats or birds you may have.

Simon is a gentle soul, looking for head pats and to be close to you at all times. Keeping you company is his life’s mission and fulfilling that will bring him immense joy. He does enjoy a snooze on your bed so he can keep an eye on where you are.

Although he has arthritis that won’t stop him from being always excited to go on a walk. His foster family walk him, with rests in a pram so he has a good balance of exercise and enjoying the smells and activity of the outside world. He is amazing on a lead, but does look to you for guidance and reassurance on occasion. When he walks, you won’t have any issues, as he just enjoys being with his companion, walking as if he owns the world. He’s also a sucker for treats, and loves his pumpkin, chicken and rice, and sometimes is a little too interested in what others are eating as well.

Simon will do well with someone who is available for love and affection from a caring dog who will make sure you are always doing okay. This little ball of cute cuddliness is content with just being with his person, a short walk a day, and a little scratch around the neck at times. He is happy to be with other canines as well as he loves being the centre of attention, and is able to communicate to you what he wants. He would not be suitable with an energetic dog but another older pup would be great.

If you are looking for a cute, photogenic dog who is always looking out for you, Simon is your man.

We are no longer heartworm testing as we have not had one positive test since we began in 2006. If a dog comes to us on heartworm treatment this is continued.
