Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Courtesy post - pleasecontact Ron if you'd like to learn more about Simba
Simba is a handsome pit/ Mastiff mix. He was dumped by his backyard breeding "owner", after making six years of profits off his puppies. He was posted for sale online, yet I messaged the poster and had him surrender him to me, free of charge. He is in need of a new beginning. He is currently in boarding, as I cannot foster him due to a resident dog that is very dog reactive. He needs out of boarding ASAP, and into a great home! He is six years old, vetted, microchipped, fixed, and great with people of all ages. He is housebroken, yet he spent most of life in a crate, so he is not a fan of being crated. He is not good with cats, and would do best as an only animal, at this point. He needs an experienced foster or adopter (ideally from a licensed rescue) that will take the time to help him with dog socialization. A big, fenced yard will be necessary, as well.
Contact Ron at (708) 363-1122, or ron.jamiolkowski@gmail.com, for an adoption application. Serious inquiries only. I am not asking for an adoption fee. All I ask is you make a sizable donation to your favorite shelter or rescue...pay it forward, so they can help another animal in need. This is not about me making money off the dog. If you cannot foster and/or adopt Simba, please tell your pet-less friends & family looking to save a life. Perhaps Simba would be a perfect fit!
