SIMON - Labrador Retriever and Shepherd Dog for Adoption in Pasadena, California

#A5521664
Say hello to
Simon
, a 4-year-old Labrador/Shepherd mix and one seriously handsome boy, with a soft creamy coat dusted in faint auburn freckles like someone sprinkled him with cinnamon! Add in his soulful eyes and perfectly curled cinnamon-roll tail, and you’ve got one irresistible package! Simon strikes a wonderful balance between his breeds: he’s a loyal little shadow who loves sticking close to his people, paired with the whip-smart brain and drive of a Border Collie, making him a fantastic candidate for advanced training where you can learn, work, and grow together. ❤ï ̧ He prefers people over other dogs, but he’s been curious and appropriate when meeting pups through the fence, so he may do well with a canine sibling given slow, thoughtful introductions. An all-around wonderful boy with brains, loyalty, and plenty of potential, Simon is a hidden gem at the shelter just waiting for someone to discover him - could that someone be you?

- 4 year old white and orange Labrador/Shepherd mix

- 75 pound neutered male

- may need the standard round of shots and preventatives before he can go home with you, but the shelter can likely help with this!

- came to the Baldwin Park Animal Care Center on 10/7/26 as an internal transfer from another shelter - we’re hoping Simon is now in the right place to find his forever family!

- perfect mix of his two breeds - deeply loyal and attentive but smart and driven, perfect for doing advanced training together

- likes people more than dogs but could do well with slow, thoughtful intros

- truly a diamond in the rough here at the shelter - the bestest of boys!
