Simba

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

Simba was found abandoned outside a supermarket, but despite his rough start, he settled quickly into refuge life and hasn’t stopped sharing his big heart with everyone he meets. Young, energetic, and bursting with love, Simba is a real character full of life and eager to bond. He’s incredibly affectionate and adores kisses, cuddles, and human attention. Behind his playful spirit is a clever mind: he’s already mastered “sit,” “lie down,” and “give paw” with the help of our staff. Simba lives with other dogs at the refuge, although he can be a bit selective with his companions. He would benefit from continued socialisation and clear guidance but he’s a quick learner and responds well to consistent training. The staff describe Simba as a real charmer ,it’s almost impossible not to fall in love with him. He just needs someone who can give him the direction and affection he craves. Simba would thrive in an active home with someone experienced or confident in handling young, intelligent dogs. He needs a firm but loving hand to guide him and help him channel his energy in positive ways. With structure and time, he’s destined to become a truly loyal and well-mannered companion. Simba does not show himself in a positive light inside the kennel. Outside of that environment he is a different dog.

About Simba

What life with Simba looks like

Simba is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Live PAWS Tenerife in Spain.

An young 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 Spain

Spanish protectoras generally include sterilization, all vaccinations, microchip ID, and EU pet passport in the adoption fee (typically €250–€400 for a dog, €100–€180 for a cat). Many maintain partnerships with rescue transport providers across the EU.

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. Live PAWS Tenerife 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 — Live PAWS Tenerife 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 Live PAWS Tenerife 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 (EN). 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.
