Simba

Meet Simba, a loyal and affectionate four-year-old American Bulldog from McLean, VA, whose gentle nature and loving personality make him a truly special companion.

With his handsome tan and white coat and a sturdy 65-pound frame, Simba is the picture of strength wrapped in sweetness. He’s house-trained, crate-trained, and knows a variety of fun and useful commands like “sit,” “lay,” “hi-five,” “no,” “go to bed,” and even “goodbye.” This smart, obedient boy is eager to please and thrives in a calm, loving environment where he can be part of the family.

Simba is incredibly affectionate and has a soft spot for cuddling with his favorite humans. His favorite things in the world? A sturdy bone to chew, a good ball to chase, and time spent with the people he loves! While he can be a bit nervous when meeting new faces, especially outside his immediate circle, once he warms up, his true personality shines—playful, snuggly, and oh-so-sweet.

He gets along well with other dogs and has been gentle around young children. Although he hasn’t had much exposure to cats, his overall friendly nature suggests that a calm introduction could work well. He’s not just well-behaved—he's also very easy to care for. With a short coat that requires minimal grooming and a love for routine walks, Simba is a balanced mix of active and chill!

Simba is in great health, up to date on his vaccinations, neutered, and has had consistent dental care with brushing and chews. He’s used to having access to food and water throughout the day and adapts well to a routine that includes plenty of attention and a secure, comforting space—his kennel is his safe haven when you’re away.

Simba is a wonderful companion looking for his next loving home where he can continue to thrive. His current guardian wants nothing more than to see him cherished and well cared for.

Could Simba be the calm, cuddle-loving companion you’ve been searching for? Reach out today and welcome this sweet boy to his next chapter filled with love, loyalty, and a cozy spot by your side!
