RESCUE ONLY DEADLINE 5 PM 11/04/24 Name: Simba Animal ID: A849683 Age: 9 months Weight: 58.2 lbs. About: Simba, who was surrendered to the shelter on September 11, 2024, is really just a puppy at only nine months old. Since his arrival, he has exhibited signs of stress and anxiety within the shelter environment. Some dogs simply do poorly in the high stress, crowded shelter environment, and Simba is sadly one of those dogs. His stress has manifested as increased reactivity and difficulty in handling.
Simba`s previous owners reported issues with another dog in the home; however, they also reported that he loves car rides, is affectionate, and is a playful boy who loves to be close to his people. He can be wary if men and showed signs of separation anxiety when left alone.
To help Simba thrive in a new home, his owner will need to be patient and understanding. Crate training will be essential to manage his separation anxiety, and a consistent routine and positive reinforcement training can help build his confidence and reduce his anxiety. Additionally, slow and gradual introductions to new people, especially men, can help him overcome his fear and develop positive associations. It’s crucial to remember that Simba truly is a puppy and with guidance and structure he has the potential to be a wonderful companion.
Simba has struggled with his interactions with other dogs in the shelter setting and has had difficulty socializing, so slow, managed introductions will be important. With the right approach and a committed owner, Simba can be a loving addition to a family.
