Please Read IMPORTANT INFORMATION about Senior Pet Safety Net pets:

The Senior Pet Safety Net Email is a COURTESY POSTING for senior or special needs dogs or cats who need a home. This is a service offered by HWAH to help senior dogs or cats in need when HWAH is not able to accept them into the HWAH program.

If you have questions about, or an interest in, the featured pet, please contact the person indicated in the Safety Net email.

Safety Net Pets are not HWAH Residents. Once a Pet becomes a HWAH Resident, our commitment is that they will remain at HWAH for their entire life. They will not be put up for adoption.

As always we are grateful for your support and your assistance in helping these pets in need by sharing their plight with anyone you feel might be interested.

HWAH truly believes:

"Saving one dog might not change the world.
But, surely for that one dog the world will change forever."

Simon Says: Help!

This lovable Labrador is Simon, a 13 year old from Alexandria, Virginia who has been through a lot.

He's a cancer survivor, in uninterrupted remission for six years now. He has a "Canine Good Citizen" award and is well-trained -- just ask him to come, sit, stay, or lie down.

Simon craves companionship, and that's creating a challenge as his family is about to add a new baby. Child care issues mean that there's less time to give Simon the kind of attention he needs. When he feels ignored, he barks. Although he's been housebroken since he was young, he needs to be let out more often because his bladder isn't as strong as it used to be. But other than sagging hips that older Labs often have, Simon has no other current health issues.

Although Simon generally gets on well with other dogs, we think he'd do better as an "only dog". He's gentle with kids but seems to prefer quieter surroundings.

We're getting the word out to Lab rescues -- can you help us find a quiet, happy, forever home? Simon says, please!

SIMON

Breed: Labrador

Age: 13

Gender: Male (neutered)
