Momma Simone

Momma Simone is still looking for her FOREVER home! 
She misses her pups but would love to have her own family!
Simone LOVES to play...she starts "chasing" games in the back yard with the other dogs.
She can be dog-selective.
She loves toys (esp fluffy and squeaky ones)
and she likes chew bones. 
Simone likes kids, but we don't know about cats!

Simone is a lovely "MUGGIN" (pug, min-pin mix) who was rescued by some wonderful volunteers in Fresno.  She probably had a home before as she is very social and friendly to most people...she may be wary at first but this is very common protective behavior in new mothers....She had her babies on July 2, 2012 according to the Fresno rescue group that assisted her in the beginning. 

We do not know alot about her history and we are getting to know her bit by bit every day....so far she has completely warmed up to her foster mom and the teenage male in the household and follow them around as much as possible....she has also been introduced to two other resident dogs (females) who are her size and has been fine with them.

She has a healthy appetite and is gaining weight!  She especially likes soft chewy treats as snacks and an occasional bully stick. She loves to walk and since she has been steadily gaining weight, longs walks might be just what the doctor ordered!

Because there are no cats in the house, we do not know how she is with cats or other small animals. 

She walks well on leash and seems more wary of the men than of the women she encounters on her walks...but as aforementioned, she really likes the big teenager in the house! : )

If you would like to adopt Simone, please complete an adoption questionnaire (found online at www.rocketdogrescue.org) and send it to adopt@rocketdogrescue.org  She will not be ready for a forever home for a few more weeks, but we are accepting and screening applications!
