About Simba

Meet Simba, an 8-year-old toy poodle mix with a large personality in a small package. This senior gentleman, while confident, can be a tad sassy. He gets a bit nervous around loud voices and chaotic situations, which is why he thrives in a calm, patient home. Simba is looking for a family without young children, ideally for a peaceful environment where he can feel secure. He’s a bit of a chatterbox and loves to announce the comings and goings around the neighborhood, so a house is more suitable than an apartment. Good news for potential dog owners: Simba gets along well with other dogs, though his feelings towards cats remain unknown. He enjoys his walks on a leash, but a fenced yard would be perfect for him to romp around in. When adventures wind down, Simba loves to cuddle up beside you in your favorite chair, but he's also happy to entertain himself if you need a little space. If you're patient, kind, and ready to embrace his quirks, Simba could be the delightful companion you've been waiting for. Apply to meet him today!
