Meet Simba! This goofy eight-year-old Boxer is a joyful whirlwind wrapped in a handsome brown brindle coat with white accents. Currently in Amherst, MA, he approaches every moment like a delightful mystery, whether it's a rolling toy or an amusing sound from across the room. Food motivates him, so snack time is a great opportunity for positive reinforcement and learning. Simba is looking for a new loving home after his cherished owner passed away. Despite his impressive 97-pound size, Simba believes he is a lap dog, leaning into his humans for cuddles and often forgetting about personal space. He's peaceful when left alone, enjoys chew toys, and perks up for walks and car rides! Friendly with other dogs, he's shared a happy life with a canine companion, Sophie. Though he hasn't been around cats, his gentle nature suggests he could adjust with a thoughtful introduction. Simba is affectionate and patient with children, although his exuberance might be a bit much for smaller kids, so guidance is helpful. He can be timid in new situations, taking time to warm up to unfamiliar faces, but once settled, his sweet personality shines through. A calm, confident household suits him best, especially one where someone is home often for companionship and cuddles. With a strong bond with his sister Sophie, he could be adopted with her or thrive as an only dog under the right circumstances. Could Simba be the cheerful companion you've been searching for?
