About Simba
Simba is Mr. Personality! He is a rough-and-tumble pup who loves to play—especially fetch! He already knows how to sit and proudly shows off his trick, eagerly waiting for a treat in return.
Personality
Simba is bold, confident, and playful. He is friendly toward people and other dogs, but his loud bark and play growl can be off-putting to timid or submissive dogs. However, once introduced, he plays nicely and has shown no signs of aggression.
Energy Level
Simba is an active and strong pup who will thrive in a home that can provide mental and physical stimulation. He would do well with an experienced owner who understands the importance of training and socialization.
Skills and Training
- Crate trained – quickly learning that his crate is a safe space and goes in easily at mealtimes
- Potty training in progress – doing well with minimal accidents
- Knows "sit" and is eager to learn more!
- Highly food-motivated – making training fun and rewarding
- Needs continued training – especially to manage his bark and bold nature
Companionship
Simba would thrive in a home with adults or older kids, ideally with someone familiar with the breed. He is a strong and muscular pup who will grow into a powerful dog, so he needs an owner willing to invest time in training to keep him well-behaved.
Love and Affection
Despite his bold personality, Simba is eager to please, learn, and bond with his future family. He has the potential to be an amazing lifelong companion with the right guidance and structure.

All adult dogs, cats, and kittens are altered prior to adoption. Puppies too young to be altered at the time of adoption must be brought to our partner vet in Ashland, VA for spay or neuter paid for by Operation Paws for Homes by 6 months of age. Adopters may choose to have the procedure done at their own vet before 6 months of age and be reimbursed the amount that the rescue would pay our partner vet in Ashland.
This dog's bio is based off the experiences of the foster and/or volunteers of OPH as well as any information that we received from the shelter or previous owner. This is very important because it means that while they may act one way in the foster’s home, you may experience something different in your home.
