Simba

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

The Simba is beautiful! But his beauty did not prevent him from being very mistreated by the person who kept him tied up. The need to live his freedom was thus shown from the beginning in his new life. His 5 years are full of energy, as if all the time was not enough to recover from being a prisoner. The Simba has revealed himself as a friendly, good-natured with everyone and everyone challenging for the game. He now needs a home where he lives cherished, free, safe and with company, because loneliness is not for him. He is medium size, dewormed, vaccinated, spayed and microchipped.

O Simba é lindo ! Mas a sua beleza não o impediu de ser muito maltratado por quem o mantinha acorrentado. A necessidade de viver a sua liberdade foi assim desde logo demonstrada na sua nova vida. Os seus 5 anos são plenos de energia , como se todo o tempo não bastasse para recuperar o que foi prisioneiro. O Simba revelou-se um simpático, bem disposto com todos e todos desafiando para a brincadeira. Precisa agora de um lar onde viva acarinhado , em liberdade , segurança e com companhia , pois a solidão não é para ele. Tem porte médio, está desparasitado, vacinado, castrado e microchipado.

About Simba

What life with Simba looks like

Simba is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Patas Errantes in Portugal.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇵🇹Adopting from Portugal

Portuguese rescues coordinate extensively with European rescue networks for cross-border placements, especially for galgos and podencos. Sterilization, vaccinations, and microchip ID are standard. Adoption fees typically cover the full vet workup.

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. Patas Errantes 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 — Patas Errantes 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
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 Patas Errantes 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 (PT). 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.
