Say hello to Simba & Nala… Available for Adoption! Currently in the USA….. working out transport to Canada.   Simba & Nala are two beautiful friendly cream rough coat chows. Together, they escaped from a neglectful, irresponsible backyard breeder. They are both approximately 2 years old, altered, healthy and up yo date on vaccinations. Each did well for their initial medical examination and have warmed up quickly to staff members at the shelter. They are clean, crate trained and enjoy attention. Simba will play fetch while Nala watches for squirrels…. They both will lean in for a pet when they’re not chasing or playing with each other.   These are two very nice chows will fill a home with pure entertainment and joy. They would be happy to be adopted together or make new fiends in a new family or possibly learn to be spoiled as an only pet.  This is all the information we have so far… if you’re interested, please apply at merlinshope.com.   We would be happy to answer detailed questions to serious applicants.  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~We only respond to serious inquiries.
