Story

HAKUNA MATATA! Meet Simba! 🦁 Everything the light touches could be his kingdom—but he’d much rather it be your living room! This 6-year-old Chihuahua mix is ready to take his rightful place on your throne (or, you know, the sofa). At a sturdy 12 lbs, Simba is a "mighty king" in a compact package. He was rescued by a Good Samaritan about a year ago, and while his life before that is a mystery, his future is looking bright! He’s currently thriving in foster care and proving he’s got a heart as big as the Pride Lands. The "Roar": True to his breed, Simba likes to make sure everyone knows he’s coming! He can be a bit vocal on walks (he's just practicing his roar), but don't let the noise fool you—he is dog-friendly and gets along great with his peers. The Royal Decree: Our King has a bit of a sensitive neck—likely an old injury that developed into some arthritis. Because of this, he requires a harness for all his adventures rather than a traditional collar. It keeps him comfortable and ruling with ease! Simba is fully vetted and just had a dental so his smile is pearly white! Simba is looking for a "Pride" of his own to love him forever. No worries, no cares—just a lifetime of loyalty. Ready to welcome the King? Apply to adopt Simba today! 🐾 Email therescueinn@gmail.com AND complete and application here: https://therescueinn.com/adoption-application.html
