About Simba

Meet Simba! This playful prince is on the lookout for his happily ever after. Found as a stray, Simba was microchipped, and while attempts were made to contact his previous owner, there was no response. Now this charming adult male is eager to find the forever home he deserves. Simba is learning the ropes with commands like "sit" and is making progress with "down." He takes treats gently and has a joyful, playful nature. However, he can get a bit overstimulated during lively play, so he'll thrive in a family that can guide him in developing his manners and channeling his energy positively. If you’re wondering about his affinity for water, Simba absolutely loves splashing around! A kiddie pool might just be in his future. He gets along well with other dogs, but he’s not a fan of cats. Simba is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, microchipped, and heartworm negative. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
