About Simba

Simba is a quirky and intelligent Poodle with a complex personality. To his foster mom, he is a devoted 'velcro dog,' but he can be wary of other humans, exhibiting resource guarding and barking, especially in his perceived safe spaces. He is incredibly smart and eager to learn, thriving on one-on-one attention and making progress with consistent guidance. Simba absolutely adores other dogs, particularly larger, playful ones, and needs at least one sturdy canine companion in his new home to romp and play with.

As a Miniature Poodle, Simba is known for his sharp intellect, athletic build, and relatively low-shedding coat. He is described as 'all athlete - strong, muscled and powerful,' indicating a high energy level and need for significant exercise. Poodles are highly trainable and excel in activities that challenge both their minds and bodies. His minimal shedding makes him a good choice for those with allergies, but his coat will require regular grooming to prevent matting.

Simba's ideal home will be with a single person, likely a woman, who is experienced with dogs that require patient, firm, and gentle handling due to a lack of early socialization. A securely fenced yard is an absolute necessity, as Simba is a flight risk. He needs a home where his person understands and enjoys shaping dog behavior, offering consistent training and a structured environment. He thrives with other playful dogs and would benefit from a companion who can match his energy. This intelligent boy is a project, but for the right dedicated individual, he promises to be an incredibly rewarding and loving companion.
