​GREENVILLE, SC……Simon is a sweet 6 month old Blue Pitbull that was picked up as a stray and brought to Greenville County Animal Control.   He was in horrible pain and had a terrible case of Demodex that had gone way too long without being treated.    We got a notice that he needed help, but didn't offer our services because he is an adorable puppy that we felt certain someone would rescue.   His condition got desperate when the doctor for GCAC allowed an early release for Simon because of his condition.  He was beyond miserable with his skin hot, infected and oozing.   I was shocked when I got a note from the Shelter saying that today was his last day.    No one wanted him, and he would have to be put to sleep since he was so uncomfortable.  I sent a note back saying I would be his last resort and for them to let me know.  I got a note right back saying it was now or never for sweet Simon.    I was shocked that NO ONE stepped up for this sweet pup.   Sure he was sick but this was nothing that could not be remedied.   I called the Shelter back and made arrangements to have him picked up and taken to our vet in Columbia, SC.  

We take the worst of the worst that no one wants or can afford to take on.  Simon was not one of those cases which is why I just couldn't believe he was going to be put down.    All he had to do with me was bat those beautiful green eyes and act like a puppy, and I was hooked.   Off he went to our vets.

We have had Simon for almost four weeks.   He was a mess when we got him.   He was one big open scab that oozed all the time.   He had an Upper Respiratory Infection that kept him in quarantine for the first two week.   After that, he was able to get outside, run around and be a puppy while his skin healed.  He has made a lot of progress but still has about another month to go before most of his fur will be back.    Our sweet boy is a bundle of love and excitement.  He would run around outside all day long if we let him.   Simon is going to make a wonderful addition to any Family.   Please, fill out our Adoption Application if you are ready to be showered with an abundance of kisses.
