About Us
The Simon Foundation, Inc. is dedicated to the preservation, rehabilitation, and adoption of dogs and cats that would otherwise be abandoned on the streets, neglected, abused, or euthanized in municipal shelters, into caring and loving homes.
The Simon Foundation, Inc. is a Section 501(c)(3) non-profit charitable organization.
Over the past several years, The Simon Foundation, Inc. has successfully adopted more than 500 dogs into loving homes. Currently, we are averaging 5 dog placements per week out of Hemlock Kennels, and with the opening of our Bloomfield facility in August 2009, expect that number to at least triple.
One of the greatest challenges we face (outside of always needing monetary donations), is a 20% return rate on dog adoptions, for various reasons. Our goal is to reduce that rate of return through education, training, and sheer motivation. We pride ourselves on being able to help you select the best dog or cat for your family, training the dogs and socializing the cats as best we can while they live here with us, and remaining passionate about placing every single one into its' perfect "forever" home.
We promise we won't give up until every last one of our animals has been adopted, and we hope you won't either! Your support makes our existence possible, so thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
Our vision for this website is to help you find your perfect companion more easily, while providing you with valuable information and tools you may need along the way (and afterward). It is a work of art in progress, so please keep checking back periodically to see what's new.
