About Simba Dec

Simba is a compact powerhouse with a lot of personality packed into his 21-pound body. He’s a quirky, high-energy poodle who forms intense attachments, following his favorite person everywhere like a little shadow. Simba thrives with someone who understands dogs lacking early socialization; he’s been known to bark, guard his spaces, and keep the household on its toes. For the foster mom, Simba is fiercely loyal. Foster dad might call him a handful due to Simba’s need to control his environment, especially his beloved upstairs retreat. Some days Simba is social at the rescue; others, he’s protective and prefers his distance. His ideal adopter is an active single person—likely a woman—who appreciates his strength, intelligence, and passionate devotion. Simba needs a securely fenced yard since he’s quick and can be a flight risk early on. He gets along well with other dogs, especially big ones, but kids aren’t a good fit. He’ll never be a completely “normal” dog, but for the right person, Simba will be an entertaining, loving, and deeply rewarding companion. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
