Meet Simba, a spirited three-and-a-half-year-old German Shepherd from Littleton, NC, who’s a whirlwind of energy wrapped in a striking black and tan coat! Strong, smart, and always on the go, Simba is looking for a new adventure with a family who can match his zest for life—and offer open space for him to explore.
Weighing in at a lean 50 pounds, Simba is a purebred powerhouse with a heart full of love and a playful streak that’s impossible to miss. His favorite pastimes include running full-speed through open yards, savoring peanut butter-filled Kongs, and chewing on sturdy bones! He’s got a curious, intelligent nature and knows several commands like sit, down, stop, wait, come, and no, though his short attention span means he’d truly benefit from continued training and positive reinforcement.
Simba has been an outside dog his whole life and is used to living in a raised kennel setup, so he’s not house-trained just yet. A rural property, farm, homestead, or a large, securely fenced yard would be his ideal paradise. He enjoys having room to explore and plenty of opportunities to burn off energy. He’s generally friendly with other dogs, though he’s been known to display some overexuberant behavior—especially around female dogs—so mindful introductions are best.
Though Simba has never been formally vetted, he is up to date on vaccinations and has no known medical concerns. Grooming needs are simple: twice-weekly brushing to keep that thick shepherd coat in great shape. While dental care hasn’t been part of his routine, he’s the kind of pup who’d likely take to dental chews with enthusiasm—especially if they taste like peanut butter!
Simba adores attention and will let you know if he thinks the petting session ended too soon. His loving, protective spirit makes him an incredible companion for someone who can invest in his continued training and give him the outdoor life he’s used to.
