Doh! Little Homer Simp stops people in their tracks — a glossy black coat, bright expressive eyes, and a joyful little puppy face that seems to smile at the world. He’s goofy and uncomplicated like his cartoon namesake, but so wholehearted and precious, a gentle canine soul who trots over and wiggles for affection. Homer is outgoing, energetic, and eager to please; his strong playful spark is balanced by a soft, cuddly side that your lap won't be able to resist. He loves toys, enjoys exploring, and settles beautifully once he’s had his fun. Indoors, he’s polite and curious; outdoors, he’s a happy little adventurer. He’s calm in the car, clean/quiet in his crate, and already working on housetraining and leash skills. Homer is simply a gorgeous, lovable pup — the kind who makes every day feel lighter. Homer and his sister Maggie came from a rural property where the two puppies had been abandoned. Despite that rough start, both pups have shown nothing but confidence, resilience, and a natural trust in people. They’ve been raised in a typical foster home with adults, kids, and other dogs, giving them a strong foundation in social skills and daily routine. As young puppies, they’ll need a family ready to guide them through the basics — housetraining, crate time, leash walking, and manners — but they have the temperament, intelligence, and eagerness that will make training them a joy. Come say hello to the Simps! An adoption donation is required for each adoption; please see HERE for more information about this.
