About Simon
Simon is a stunning Anatolian Shepherd boy who was shot before landing in the shelter. Since buckshot/bullet fragments are not easily removed by surgery, we were hoping that he would be able to live with them as some of our other dogs do, but even after a few months, he was still limping, not putting weight on the leg that was most affected with a BIG bullet fragment plus other shrapnel. Since the leg was giving him so much pain and one fragment was buried in the bone and couldn't be removed, our veterinarian advised that amputation would be the best treatment. Simon has made a full recovery from the amputation and is getting around quite nicely on three legs. He has gotten along nicely with every dog we have paired him with -- puppies and seniors alike. Simon has nice manners in the house and walks pretty well on a leash, though he does better OFF-leash because he's still figuring out…
