Simba

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 10 years

Simba 04/2016 | female Hey, I'm Simba. I came to the shelter with my sister. She's already moved into her new home, and that left me quite unsettled. At first glance, I still appear to be a nervous dog, but appearances can be deceiving!!! If you get to know me a little bit, you can basically watch me "thawing out." I'll become more and more brave over time, and sometimes I can even be a bit cheeky...I get along well with other dogs. I spend most of my time with my good friend Dyuk. He's shown me a lot and helps me get settled here. So far, I haven't seen much of the world – that's why I would so much like to start exploring soon! My absolute dream would be to move into a new home together with Dyuk. Another friendly dog in the household would be helpful, but it's not a must. If you take the time to get to know me and I realize that I can trust you, I'll go with you anywhere. Give me a chance?

Simba 04/2016 | weiblich Hey, ich bin Simba. Ich kam mit meiner Schwester auf den Schlatthof.Sie ist schon lange in ihr neues Zuhause umgezogen & ich war dadurch ziemlich verunsichert. Auf den ersten Blick wirke ich immernoch wie ein unsicherer Hund, aber der Schein trügt!!!Wenn ich Dich ein bisschen kennengelernt habe, kannst Du mir quasi beim „Auftauen“ zuschauen.Ich werde Stück für Stück mutiger & manchmal gehts sogar in Richtung frech…Mit anderen Hunden komme ich gut klar. Ich verbringe die meiste Zeit mit meinem guten Freund DyukEr hat mir schon viel gezeigt & hilft mir mich hier zurechtzufinden.Bislang durfte ich noch nicht viel von der Welt sehen – daher würde ich sooo gerne bald damit starten! Mein absoluter Traum wäre es natürlich zusammen mit Dyuk in ein neues Zuhause zu ziehen. Ein anderer freundlicher Hund im Haushalt wäre auch hilfreich, ist aber kein Muss.Wenn Du Dir Zeit für mich nimmst & ich merke, dass ich Dir vertrauen kann, gehe ich mit Dir überall hin.Gibst Du mir die Chance? Simba Simba Simba Simba Leila & Simba Simba & Leila

About Simba

What life with Simba looks like

Simba is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Menschen für Tiere in Oberndorf a.N..

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.

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. Menschen für Tiere 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 — Menschen für Tiere 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 Menschen für Tiere 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.
