Are you right for Simba?
Meet handsome lad, Simba! Simba is a 3-year old Patterdale x Springer Spaniel looking for his forever home! Simba is unable to live with another dog, as he is quite under-socialised. He can sometimes react to louder dogs, but mostly wants to avoid.
Any children should be older secondary school aged as he can be a little worried of people initially, but quickly comes around and enjoys a fuss! Simba, despite being a bigger boy, likes to pretend he's a lapdog and have a cuddle with his people! Simba is a very clever boy, who loves to learn new things. He currently knows a sit, lie down, and a spin! Simba is looking for an active home where he can get out for fun adventures and long sniffy walks. He would thrive with a good routine, and would enjoy a day of activities followed by a cuddle on the sofa.
Simba loves his toys and loves to play with his people, and is also very foodie so any training will be a doddle!
Is Simba right for you?
Simba is a sweet lad, with lots of energy and an eagerness to learn! He walks well on lead for the most part, but can pull if something is quite interesting (and can be strong!). He travels well in the car, so would make an incredible adventure buddy!
He does need a bit of reminding with his house-training, and will need owners that are home most of the time to settle him in and build leaving time nice and slowly. Simba can be a bit worried in the vets, and is quite avoidant of handling in this setting. He would benefit building a bond with his new Vet so he feels more at ease with this.
Simba is a super handsome boy, with lots of love to give, and will make an amazing addition to the home!

How our rehoming process works

Create an account and fill out our application form
In our form you can tell us all about your home, your lifestyle and the kind of dogs you’re interested in. You won’t be applying for a specific dog, but you can add favourites to give us an idea of the dogs you like. We’ll use this information to find a great match for you.

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.

Show detailsIf we’ve found a dog who seems right for you, we’ll invite you to come and meet them at the rehoming centre.
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.
