Simmba's Story

Meet Simmba!<br/><br/>Simmba is a thriving, loving, loyal, and affectionate boy who truly shines when he’s with his person. Sadly, he was surrendered to us the day after Christmas after spending much of his life confined to a yard where, as the children grew older, he received less and less attention. Since arriving at Shelter Hope, Simmba got a fresh start with a grooming makeover and lots of care.<br/><br/>Though the physical and emotional neglect he endured has left its mark, Simmba’s spirit is strong. He can sometimes guard people and may lash out if he feels cornered, so he would do best in a home committed to helping him work through these behaviors with patience, consistency, and plenty of exercise.<br/><br/>If you’re ready to give Simmba the loving guidance and active lifestyle he needs, you’ll find in him a devoted companion who will reward you with endless affection and loyalty.<br/><br/>------<br/><br/>Looking to Adopt?

Shelter Hope Pet Shop's Adoption Policy
Shelter Hope is operating by APPOINTMENT ONLY. Dogs are only brought into the shop if an application to meet the dog is approved and an appointment is made. More about our process: STEP 1: APPLICATION If you're interested in adopting, please fill out a rescue questionnaire. Please be thorough in your answers. We do not place dogs on a first come first serve basis, but rather to the home best suited for them. Be ready to adopt, as adoptions can happen quickly. Only apply for dogs that every family member agrees on, and wait to submit your application until after your vacation. STEP 2: PHONE INTERVIEW If your application is approved, our rescue counselor will contact you for a phone interview. Please be patient, as this process may take several days. Due to the high volume of applications, especially for popular dogs, not all applicants will be contacted. Moreover, we often interview multiple candidates before selecting the best match and scheduling an adoption appointment. STEP 3: ADOPTION APPOINTMENT The appointment is a meet-and-greet at our shop at the Janss Marketplace in Thousand Oaks. If you choose to adopt, the process is completed with an adoption fee and a signed contract. Adoptions include: - 10% off training at Zoom Room Thousand Oaks - A free day at doggy daycare at Barks N' Rec - A free grooming at Indiana Bones - A free check-up with Slaton Veterinary Hospital - A free 30 minute visit from Valley Pet Sitting - A free collar, tag, harness & leash As well as all the vaccines they've had thus far, the microchip, and the spay/neuter. And most importantly, the lasting reward of saving a life and welcoming a new member into your family!
