My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Simba! 

Simba was rescued from the streets of Puerto Rico when a whole colony of dogs came running up at a feeding route and it was clear they were friendly and loving. The rescuers couldn’t bear to leave this sweet puppy behind to face life on the streets, so they brought him to safety. They wish they could have saved them all, but Simba was the lucky one this time.

At about 4 months and 15 lbs Simba is expected to be around 45 lbs full grown. He’s a gentle, affectionate pup who loves kids and other dogs, and could easily learn to love cats too!

If you’d like to be part of Simba’s happy ending, please apply to foster or adopt him today.
Adoption fee: $395.
