SIMBA is a gorgeous young male, 2 and half years, medium size, with a medium-length wirey coat in beige and white.Poor Simba was an abandoned dog, he was able to survive by hanging around the bars and restaurant begging for food, and people took pity on him because he was so skinny and hungry.Now rescued, he is a beautiful boy, full of energy and healthy, little bit timid at the beginning with unknown persons, but as he is very smart , he learns to trust very quickly.He is learning to walk on the lead, and each day is lots of progress so he is much better.Simba is very friendly with others dogs, not food guarding, very playful and gentle.Not trained to a recall, just basic training, sit down, paw, but very keen to learn.Simba is very nice dog, reliable, always eager to do his best to please.We are looking for a home with another calm friendly dog for company for him.Some cats he will tolerate, some not. As for young children we think 12 years should be the youngest

Adopting A DogWatch UK Rescue Dog
Before being adopted, dogs will have been vaccinated, wormed and treated for fleas.
If old enough they will have been neutered, if too young the new owners will need to ensure this is done.
All dogs are microchipped
All new owners can apply for 4 weeks Pet Insurance FREE, to apply please ask us for the pamphlet, our charity reference number is 1400005179.
All new owners will need to change their new dogs microchip information to their contact details. This costs £17. If you would like us to arrange this for you, at a reduced rate of £7.20, we will ask you to do a bank transfer to allow us to register the change.
For Rescue Dogs coming from overseas
This adoption fee is a contribution towards the costs of rescuing the dog including
– microchip, pet passport, vaccines, tests for South European diseases, neutering (IF OLD ENOUGH), parasite treatment and transport to the UK.
We can not home dogs from overseas to people who work full time or long hours, unless some sort of doggy day care is offered. They need someone at home a lot of the day, they are not used to being alone for long periods. A dog walker for an hour out of the day is not enough.
Leaving dogs a long time on their own means they are highly likely to develop separation anxiety which is distressing for them and everyone in their new home.
