What is the dog's rescue story? Simba was rescued in a low-income area of Guadalajara when he was just 1 month old along with his Mom and his other 2 siblings. He was born in an abandoned lot where other street dogs lived.
Neighbors say there were up to 6 puppies spotted, but they were disappearing one by one, probably taken by kids or other street dogs. That is when a good neighbor started gaining his mom's trust by giving her food. As soon as she allowed him to get near them, she was taken along with her puppies into a foster home ( December 2023). Unfortunately, it was detected that they were being mistreated by the people in their foster home. Trying with no luck to find them suitable homes in the city, Simba's case came to the attention of NWG rescue partner in Guadalajara, and they were immediately transferred to an adequate private facility where they could be properly attended.
Simba is now more than ready to find his forever family and looking forward enjoying life.
Simba is waiting in Mexico until a family is committed to fostering her or taking him on a trial. If you are interested, apply at www.northwestwagrescue.org his adoption fee is $550
