Simon

Update: Simon renamed to Kodi, has found himself a wonderful home with an active family, what every little doggie needs. Although this adoption was handled through the Duncan Spca, we love happy stories and wanted to post his happy ending. Kudos to Duncan who did a great job in rehabbing and rehoming this young fellow.

Notes from his adoptive home:

He still walks on his back legs and is indeed proving to be a good climber – he enjoys a couple of good hikes in the bush each day and has proven his ability to climb rocky faces and fallen trees.

Kodi is also a charmer at my mother-in-law’s retirement home. He calmly and politely meets all the old folks. He’s not upset by the wheelchairs, walkers and strollers. He stands proudly while being petted! And he also rides the elevator so very well!

Kodi is a good dog and he’s working on becoming a great dog!

We’re looking forward to teaching him about camping and having him join us on our annual trips to the Yukon.

Lovely comments on a good start for this young fellow!

Simon is a cute little shar-pei mix, he is a younger fellow and very eager to please. He is being looked after by the Duncan Spca.

Notes from one of Simon's friends...

Simon is medium size, he is very quick and quite muscular. He has not had any basic obedience training so a beginners course would be the place to start with him. He is learning to walk on leash, and can be a bit of a puller if people let him. He has walked with other dogs but can be intimidating to them as he doesn't appear to have the best doggie manners which could get him into trouble.

He has started to see that volunteers and staff are "good" - they carry cookies and treats, and they take him for walks every day. He would be best suited to an active home, with someone willing to take the time to train him. He would excel at flyball or agility. If possible, an only dog home would be best for him - in the beginning - while he is learning.

He was soo good today. I was so proud of him. He walked along quite nicely. We have been doing the stop when he pulls and wait. He also waited when I told him too, and he is starting to respond to people He was quite interested in everything else before and hardly looked at the people. Little steps but nice ones.
