Goldendoodle puppies and dogs in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma

Meet Simba — a doodle who is deeply convinced that you are the most fascinating human to ever exist and that leaving your side would be both unnecessary and emotionally irresponsible. 🦁💛 Simba is sweet in the kind of way that sneaks up on you. One minute she’s bopping around with her happy doodle energy, the next she’s gazing at you like you personally invented sunshine. Yes, she’s energetic — because doodle. It’s part of the breed’s operating system. She wakes up ready to participate in life, preferably alongside you, preferably touching you, and preferably helping in ways that are mostly moral support. She loves her people with her whole fluffy heart and prefers to keep them within eyesight at all times, just in case they need moral support, physical support, or someone to stare at them lovingly while they scroll on their phone. Simba didn’t come to us because she did anything wrong — in fact, she’s the kind of dog that makes you question humanity just a little. 💔✨ Simba is an 8-year-old, 33-pound female Goldendoodle who found herself in rescue after her family could no longer keep her. How someone could ever say goodbye to a dog this sweet, this loving, and this genuinely delightful is something we will never fully understand. She’s the definition of “how are you even real?” energy — affectionate, loyal, and emotionally invested in her people from the moment she meets them. Their loss is very much your gain. Simba is one of those rare dogs who doesn’t just fit into a home — she elevates it. She’s a true gem, the kind you don’t realize you’ve been missing until she’s curled up next to you, quietly proving that sometimes the best things come from someone else’s impossible decision. 💛🐾 When it comes to making friends, if there’s a pulse, a wagging tail, or a human within eyesight, she’s already decided you’re part of her friend group. 🦁✨She loves meeting other dogs, greeting everyone like she’s been waiting all day for this exact moment, and fully believes that every dog she meets is here to be her friend. There’s no awkward sniff-and-walk-away energy here. Simba brings the “OMG HI, I’M SO GLAD YOU CAME” enthusiasm and means it with her whole heart. Cats? Completely unbothered. She acknowledges their existence in the same way you acknowledge a decorative pillow — notices it, moves on, no drama. Kids? While she hasn’t been around children in her foster home, she did live with kids previously and did just fine. As for new people… Simba doesn’t “warm up.” She arrives preheated. She is a full-blown social butterfly who greets new humans like old friends she’s thrilled to see again. There’s no stranger danger here — just tail wags, happy energy, and the strong belief that everyone she meets is about to become someone she loves. Simba operates at about a 7 out of 10 on the energy scale, which means she’s enthusiastic about life but not trying to reenact a Fast & Furious movie in your living room. Car rides? Oh, she’s in. Simba will happily hop right into the car on her own… unless it’s tall, in which case she’s perfectly fine being politely assisted like the small queen she is. Once inside, she immediately assumes the role of copilot, watching the road and supervising your driving choices. Adventure dog or homebody? Trick question. Simba is a “wherever you go, I go” kind of girl. Hiking? Cool. Running errands? Love it. Sitting on the couch doing absolutely nothing? Her favorite activity. She doesn’t need the adventure — she just needs you. Temperament-wise, Simba is happy-go-lucky and proudly goofy. She’s the dog who makes you smile without trying, the one who lives life with optimism and very little overthinking. Toys don’t really impress her — she’s more of a bone connoisseur, thank you very much. With her energy level, Simba would thrive best in a home with a securely fenced yard where she can stretch her legs and burn off her wiggles. She could manage other setups with regular walks, but a yard would be her dream scenario. And yes — she does know a couple of commands. She’s got sit and stand down. Simba is fully potty trained. She has been kenneled and does just fine… when you are not home. When you are home, however, she would like to formally request her release so she can resume her position as your emotional support shadow. Chewing? Nope. She’s not here to destroy your belongings or test your patience. Barking? Minimal. She’s not a commentary dog. She might chime in a little when the other dogs do, but she’s generally quiet and not interested in narrating the neighborhood’s every move. The big picture? Simba is a sweet, happy-go-lucky doodle with classic doodle energy — playful, bouncy, and enthusiastic — who also knows how to calm down and cuddle like a champ. So if you’ve read all of this and thought, “Wow, this dog sounds suspiciously perfect and exactly like the fluffy little hole in my life,” congratulations — that is called good judgment. If you would like to adopt this delightful doodle gem, you must fill out an adoption application at https://www.pyrpawsandfluffytailsrescue.com/adoption-app. This is not optional, not a vibe check, and not a “just message us ‘interested’ and hope for the best” situation. Fill it out so we can send it to her foster family, who will then confirm that yes, Simba really is this great in real life. And finally, Simba’s forever family will need to pick her up in Hutchinson, KS. She will not be delivered by stork, carrier pigeon, or good intentions. She will, however, be ready to love you immediately.
