Story
ONE YEAR AT SHELTER HOPE, NOT ONE SINGLE INQUIRY
Simmba doesn't deserve to spend the rest of his life in a rescue. He might be a "project dog," but he's a boy with a huge heart and so much love to give.
He was surrendered to us the day after Christmas back in 2024. Sadly, his owner kept him outside in their yard where, as the children grew older, he received less and less attention.
Simmba is a 3-year-old Poodle mix who loves racing and rolling through the grass and soaking up the sun on his favorite bench. Inside, he keeps his lammy toy close and can't resist showering his person with enthusiastic face kisses. He also adores cuddles, head scratches, and just hanging out by your side.
During his time at Shelter Hope, Simmba has shown how deeply he bonds with the people he trusts. He can be protective and sometimes needs help navigating his big feelings (and a touch of teenage stubbornness!), but with those he knows, he is loyal and eager for connection. Simmba also has some skin allergies, so he wears a cone to prevent licking, but it doesn't slow down his spirited, quirky personality.
Simmba would do best with a single person who's ready to offer him steady guidance and companionship. Give him that, and you'll have a devoted friend who will fill your days with tenderness, loyalty, and joy!
Will you give him that chance?

Shelter Hope is operating by appointment only.
Be ready to adopt:
If selected, our rescue counselor will contact you to schedule a phone interview. Please monitor your email and spam folder for our message. Adoptions can happen quickly so be prepared for our call, only apply for dogs that every family member in the home wants, and wait to apply until you return from your vacation.
More on our process:
Due to high demand, especially for popular dogs, not all applicants will be contacted. Moreover, we may not reach out if we have already approved a family to adopt. The process can take several days. Thank you for your patience!
