Are you right for Simba?
Simba walks nicely on lead. He can pull when a smell is worth sniffing! He responds quickly to being called back by his name. He takes treats nicely and knows sit and paw. He is relaxed when clipping a lead to his collar and having his harness put on before a walk. He would suit an active home as he is young and does have a lot of energy. He is happy to go walking for miles and really loves a good zoomie in the garden or in a secure field.
Is Simba right for you?
Simba is very friendly and has approached strangers with excitement, he wants to be everyone’s friend. He can be bouncy and does not seem to know his size but all-round, he is lovely dog who loves attention, fuss and feeling loved. He has made himself comfortable on the chair in his foster home, although will go and lay on his bed in his crate when he feels like it. He can live with children of upper primary age and above who are confident around bouncy large breeds. We have no history on this stunning boy, he has come into our care via the stray pound, his foster Dad says he has settled quickly, he is very polite, waits to eat his food until told he is given permission and appears to be house trained!

We’ll review your application
We’ll review your application against the dogs in our care at your chosen centre. If we think we have the right dog for you, we’ll be in touch as soon as possible. If we don’t hear back from you, we will close your application for now, and you can reapply when you’re ready.

Some of the dogs in our care will need to meet potential owners several times to get to know one another. This lets us see you’re compatible and gives you the chance to build a bond before making a commitment to give them a new home. By taking some time at the beginning to make sure everyone’s comfortable, an adoption is more likely to be successful.
We may also arrange a home visit with you, to see how your house will be set up and check that the garden (if you have one) is secure. This may not be necessary, though, especially if you’ve adopted from us before. Where you already have dogs, we may accept a reference from your vet as an alternative.

If we haven’t found the right match, we’ll continue the search together
If we haven’t found the right dog for you within three months, we’ll let you know your application is closed. We’ll invite you to apply again so we have up-to-date information about you, and we’ll keep looking.
