History:
Our poor sweet Simba came into the shelter as an owner surrender, due to lack of time. His owner moved out and sadly left him behind with her mother who was unable to care for him and take on the responsibility.
Shelter life can be very scary/sad/confusing for a dog that has had a home for 6 years of his life, but Simba is literally the happiest boy! He is so friendly and has not met a stranger he doesn't like, is dog friendly, and LOVES his toys. His favourite thing to do is run around in the play yard with a squeaky toy or a ball. Even though he is 6 years old Simba is still a puppy at heart! He would love to be taken on fun adventures and included in daily activities with his family. He knows to sit on command and is an overall good boy!

Additional Info:
Do you believe in love at first sight or do I need to walk by again? Most girls say they don't want a playa but I'm the playa all ladies want in their life.. a ball playa! You heard it right, I'm up for a good game of fetch all the time!
You like a little adventure but crave a little relaxation time too? I'm the man of your dreams! I love a little rest with a good treat throughout the day. Looking for commitment with the adventure buddy of my dreams. I can be your personal Lion King!
