Simba Mixed Breed Athens, GA

Why Choose Me?

Update from Simba's Foster: Simba- what a handsome boy!! This sweet pup is coming back from his foster home for the holidays and would love to find his forever home. Here's what his foster mom had to say about him:

"Simba is the best boy EVER! He is housetrained and crate trained, and so well-behaved! He will sleep all day long in your bed or will sleep in his crate if you prefer.

He is super smart and knows allll the tricks: he knows "sit", "lay down", "paw", and even "slow" on walks! When I first met him, he was very shy but quickly got better and better at meeting new people. He has totally come out of his shell and is so cuddly. He is always content to sit on my bed and watch outside through the window!

Simba is not a picky guy- he loves treats and will do literally anything for some spray cheese! ? He gets the cutest zoomies but is very careful even during his zoomies and never knocks things over. He is super mindful of things in the house (like if his ball gets stuck in furniture he won't incessantly go for it, he just waits for your help).

Simba is pretty nervous around kids and would do best in a home with no children (or older kids/teens). He is good with respectful dogs after slower introductions- he has a best friend who is a black lab and also loves going on walks with his dog-friend Georgia!

Simba really is a fantastic companion and has been patiently waiting for his forever home.

Update: Simba is STILL looking for his however home! While he has thrived in his foster home for a while now, he is ready for his forever family. Here is what his current foster mom has to say:

"Simba is doing so well! He is housetrained, crate trained, and SO eager to please! He now knows "back" on walks and "roll over" in addition to all of his previous tricks! I have also been leaving him uncrated now and he's been doing AMAZING. He just enjoys laying on my bed and watching out the window! He's the best boy!" Here's to hoping Simba's forever home comes around soon!
