Simba

A friendly Staffie Cross who is always keen to greet everyone he sees, Simba is a gentle-natured soul who has stolen the hearts of all his carers at the Rehoming Centre.

This sweet seven-year-old shows his affectionate side once he knows you well and highly values the time he spends with people.

His ideal home would be with owners who could dedicate lots of their time to him and who are always about the house to keep him company – he can live with teenagers over the age of 16.
Simba will need to be the only pet at home and would like to be taken on quiet walks while he works on building up his socialisation skills with other dogs.

Clever and keen to learn, Simba enjoys his reward-based training and would love for his new owners to continue this with him.
Ultimately, Simba is an endearing boy who has so much love to give – he is just waiting to find the perfect family to share it with.

If you think you could be the one that Simba’s been waiting for, please don’t hesitate to contact the Dogs Trust Shoreham on 01273 45256. The Rehoming Centre is based at Brighton Road, Shoreham, BN43 5LT or alternatively visit www.dogstrust.org.uk.
