Meet Shimaru! Affectionately known as Shimi, Shim, Sham!😂 This cat is just the best, a true dog-cat. He is so sweet and affectionate! When you open his condo door, he jumps right out into your arms for hugs. He gives kisses and wants to snuggle all the time. He is 2 years old and came to us from a localhoarding situation. He is FIV+ and needs to be the only cat in his home or go to a home with other FIV+ cats. He is such a wonderful boy and deserves a family that will shower him with the love he deserves!

Meet Nito and Stitch! These two came in with their mom Adia after a good samaritan found them dumped in a box on the side of the road. They needed some time to warm up, but are now very friendly! They're only 8 months old and nice, mellow kittens. They have been waiting too long to find their furever home and will make a great addition to any family! They do not have to be adopted together, but can go together if you're looking to add two furry friends to your home!

Meet Moxie! This little cutie is a goofy girl! She is a bulldog/pit mix with a lot of personality. She loves people and wants to be with her person all the time. She is higher energy, so she's looking for an active family. She enjoys walks, play time, and snuggle sessions! She is medium sized at 45 pounds and only 5 years old. She doesn't like other dogs, so she needs a home without other animals. Moxie is full of life and will brighten up any lucky adopter's life!

Meet Ember! She was returned to us after 5 years because she was no longer getting along with the other dog in her home. She is a sweet girl and loves being around people. She is medium size and a medium energy level. She has good leash manners, but loud noises tend to scare her on walks. She lived with kids in her previous home, but due to her fear of loud noises we think she'd do best in a home with older children. Due to her history, we are looking to place her in home without other animals, so she will succeed. Ember is a wonderful dog and we want to see her back in home asap!

Introducing Gunner!! This boy is just the sweetest puppy you'll ever meet! He came to us because his owner wasn't able to afford maintaining his grooming needs. Check out his before pics! Thanks to Creative Clips Pet Salon in Suffield, our boy is looking spiffy and feeling much better! He is only 8 months old, a medium size poodle mix, and he is missing being with a family. He loves everyone he meets and we think he would be happiest in a furever home with kids or other pets who he can play with all day long! He is house trained, walks well on leash, and aside from some typical puppy energy he has excellent manners.

Today is ! A day to give back to those in need in your community and worldwide. In honor of Guving Tuesday, we ask for your help in continuing our efforts to save homeless, abandoned, and neglected animals in Connecticut. Like most shelters in the state, we have taken in a record number of surrenders this year. Our food/supply costs have doubled and our medical costs have skyrocketed. We couldn’t do what we do, without the kindness of our generous supporters! Your help throughout the year has gone towards animals like the ones in this photo:
Montana, a sweet puppy who was tied up under bridge and left to starve to death in the middle of a heat wave. Holly and her sister Sage, whose elderly owner was no longer able to care for them and were at risk of becoming dumped outside at age 13. Princess and Zelda, two sweet, young dogs who were rescued by Simon from euthanasia at the local animal control facilities where they were being held. Caribe, who was living in a car with her siblings at just 8 weeks old during the hot summer. Rory, one of only two kittens in her litter that survived living on the streets before coming to Simon. Finally, Harold, a sweet elderly dog who’s owner lost her home and spent months living with him in her car, driving to animal shelters until she found one that could take him.
There are so many more animals like them in our care or still in need in our community.
Please consider a donation to our shelter this ! All donations will go towards the care of our animals and help us to take in even more! 💗🙏

Donations can be made to our PayPal account: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=CNMRMWX9GYUH6&ssrt=1733240714619

Meet our new arrival, Zelda! This beautiful girl is a goofy delight! She came to us from a local animal control where she was quickly becoming kennel stressed. She is only 2 years old, super friendly and loves everyone she meets. She has great leash manners, aside from when she flops over to demand belly rubs! She could live in a home with other dogs with proper introduction, but no cats. In typical husky fashion, she likes to try her luck at escaping a yard. Due to that she needs a fully fenced in yard or someone with breed experience. She will make a wonderful addition to any family, fill out an app today at www.thesimonfoundation.org!

Meet the goddess Sekhmet! 😍 This stunning girl came to us from a hoarding situation in West Hartford. She is 3 years old, very sweet and friendly. She loves to play and explore! She would make a great addition to any home, fill out an app today! 📝

Volunteers needed!📣 We are looking for help in multiple areas of our shelter. We need Cat Volunteers to assist with the cleaning/care of our kitties on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday! Typically between 11am-1pm, but timing is flexible. We also need Dog Walking volunteers on Wednesdays and Thursdays from 12pm-2pm. These volunteer positions are every week and require a commitment to come each week on the day of your choice. It's a great opportunity to make a difference in the lives of homeless pets in need. Our cats and dogs truly love our volunteers and the time they spend together!

🚨Cutie Pie Alert!!🚨 Meet Annie! This little girl is just the best. She came to us after her owner sadly passed away. She was scared after losing everything she'd ever known, but she quickly warmed up to the staff. She is now a silly, spunky girl! She is a 1 year old Chihuahua mix. She loves attention and cuddles. She even gets the zoomies when she's really excited! She was never walked outside and is nervous on leash, which makes her a flight risk. We are looking to send her to a home with a fenced in yard where she can learn to leash walk safely. Annie has a heart full of love to give! She needs a home that will make her feel safe and a family that will shower her with affection! Fill out an app today if you are interested in adopting!

Meet Jane Fonda! Named for how great she looks for her age 😍 Can you believe she's 13 years old?! Her owner surrendered her to us because the younger cats in the home were beating her up. She quickly became a staff and volunteer favorite due to her sweet, quiet personality. She is a wonderful cat and would make a great addition to any home! Due to her past, we would like her new home to either have no other cats or older cats who will be appropriate with her. Please consider giving this beautiful senior girl a home!

Meet Miloh and Kida! These two are the absolute sweetest dogs! They were surrendered to us because their owner was moving and didn't want to bring them. Now at 9 and 11 years old, they have lost their family and are stuck in a shelter. They are very well-behaved dogs, house trained, leash trained, and love people! They are dog friendly with proper introduction, but not good with cats. We were told they can get stressed around rambunctious children, so they would need a home with older kids or none at all. They love playing outside and are used to lots of yard time! Though they are energetic, they also settle nicely and enjoy a good cuddle session. They are a bonded pair and must be adopted together. Please consider giving these loving seniors a true furever home!

We owe a huge THANK YOU to Oscar Dean Photography for his amazing work photographing our animals!! For about a year now, Oscar has been volunteering his time and effort to take beautiful glamour shots of our adoptable animals to help them find their furever homes. His photos always have a way of capturing the personality of each dog or cat! These are just a few of the photos he has taken recently. Check back throughout the week to see individual posts with info about each animal! You can also see more at www.oscardean.com, where he posted about his recent session on his blog! 📸

Journey asks us every day, "why hasn't anyone picked me to be their Kitty?" And truth is, we don't know! Journey is a sweet, young cat and we can't wait for her furever family to come take her home. Help us share to spread the word about this pretty girl, she's been waiting at the shelter too long! 🙏😞 #adoptdontshop #sheltercats #pickme
