Simba

Simba is a loving and cuddly boy! He is so sweet and gentle with my small children and very protective. He loves to play and knows basic commands (sit, lay down, paw, turn around, come). Very smart and food motivated! Simba's perfect day would be going for a long walk, followed by treats, and cuddles. He enjoys catch and running and lots of attention! We are moving and sadly cannot keep up with his active needs at this time. I would love to find him an active home with lots of attention and care.
