Simba

American Bully · Male · Adult · 4 years

Simba is a dream with his caregivers. He has a desire to experience things with his people and work with them. Whether lounging on the couch or exploring the woods, Simba is up for anything. His greatest wish? To be a lap dog. And yet we have known the big one since he was very small... every good application needs a resume, here comes his: We have known Simba since his puppy time, because he came to us in 2021 together with his parents and siblings from a breeder household. While his siblings have long been placed, Simba has not yet found the right place. It became increasingly clear that he is a dog with construction sites, but also with an incredible amount of development potential. After his second return, he brought, among other things, a pronounced leash aggression. Even stimuli such as running children, balls or cyclists can throw him out of his stride. Also in his third

Mit seinen Bezugspersonen ist Simba ein Traum. Er hat Lust etwas mit seinen Menschen zu erleben und mit ihnen zu arbeiten. Egal ob auf dem Sofa chillen oder den Wald erkunden, Simba ist für alles zu haben. Sein größter Wunsch? Schoßhund sein. Und trotzdem kennen wir den Großen schon seit er ganz klein war … jede gute Bewerbung braucht einen Lebenslauf, hier kommt seiner: Simba kennen wir schon seit seiner Welpenzeit, denn er kam 2021 gemeinsam mit seinen Eltern und Geschwistern aus einem Vermehrer-Haushalt zu uns. Während seine Geschwister längst vermittelt sind, hat Simba bisher noch nicht den passenden Platz gefunden. Es zeigte sich dabei immer deutlicher, dass er ein Hund mit Baustellen, aber auch mit unfassbar viel Entwicklungspotenzial ist. Nach seiner zweiten Rückkehr brachte er, unter anderem, eine ausgeprägte Leinenaggression mit. Auch Bewegungsreize wie rennende Kinder, Bälle oder Fahrradfahrer können ihn aus der Ruhe bringen. Auch in seiner dritten

About Simba

What life with Simba looks like

Simba is a large adult american bully dog waiting at Tierheim Lübeck in Lübeck.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Simba, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Simba?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Lübeck handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Simba on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Simba if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Lübeck will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Simba already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Simba isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Tierheim Lübeck early rather than rehoming privately; they know Simba and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (DE). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
