Meet this dear sweet dog Simmons~

He will pull at your heart strings as he is just the most loving dog anyone could hope for. Simmons is a Mastiff breed around 115# and we believe him to be 2 - 3 years old. Simmons is missing some of his teeth and therefore his tongue has trouble staying inside his mouth. This condition causes him no harm. He can eat kibble and milk bones are his favorite treat!

He was saved from a high kill shelter as the workers could not bare to destroy such a loving animal, so he was rescued! Simmons will actually stand on his hind legs and give you a hug! Won't you please be the one to open your arms to this wonderful boy? He will love you forever.

Please note that Simmons is not adoptable with children or other dogs for HIS safety not theirs. We do not want his tongue to be accidently injured in play.

Simmons is being fostered in FORD CITY, PA and must be picked up at that location.
