Meet Simba! This 9-lb Chihuahua blend is 11 years old. This little guy is so laid back, "Hakuna Matata" is definitely his catchphrase. Simba just can’t wait to be king… of a forever family’s hearts!
- General Behavior: Simba is an active and curious fellow. According to his foster, he is the perfect chihuahua for people who don't like Chihuahuas: he is calm, inquisitive, and eager to greet new people and dogs while outside. During the day, Simba prefers to know where you are, but he's not a clingy guy. He will follow you around, but once he gets to know the routine, he's content to be in the same room.
- Likes & Dislikes: Simba enjoys long walks and meeting dogs and people of all sizes. After a stroll, he likes to snooze. Expect a tiny snore, not a roar. Night or day, blankets are a must for burrowing!
- Training: Simba is a good boy! He is housetrained if let out regularly, he walks well on a leash, is well-behaved in the car, and generally has good basic manners.
- Medical: Simba is a healthy boy! He just needs his monthly flea and heartworm preventatives, like any dog.
- Other Animals: Simba needs to be the only dog in his home. He is, however, good with cats!
- Children: This chill Chihuahua is good with children of all ages.
- Home: Simba needs a home without stairs or with someone who can carry him. Right now, he needs to be carried up and down regular stairs, but can descend 4" stairs without difficulty. Other than that, he would fit into most any type of home. He doesn’t bark much, although this little lion gets sad when you leave: he will bark, but he settles down and should be fine in an apartment or condo.
- Grooming: As a short-haired dog, Simba won’t need much elaborate grooming. He sheds mildly.
- Overall: Simba will make a wonderful companion for someone who can take him on walks, give him lots of blankets to burrow into, and love him forever.
