Simba

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

Simba hasn't had an easy life. At just two years old, he's known abandonment and cruelty. However, he doesn't know what it means to hold a grudge. He's friendly and cheerful, just wanting to play. He sits down, offers his paw, and gets very happy to see you. He's a big kid. He arrived with his analytical values altered, probably due to poor nutrition before. After a few weeks at the animal shelter and thanks to the special food that was donated, his latest blood test shows he's already recovered. He deserves someone to look him in the eyes and say to him: "Boy, this time it will be different, it will be good, and it will be forever." Would you like to be the one to tell him that?

ES·Show original

Simba no ha tenido una vida fácil. Con solo dos años ha conocido el abandono y el maltrato. Sin embargo él no sabe lo que es el rencor. Simpático y alegre solo nos pide jugar. Se sienta, te da la pata, se pone muy contento al verte. Es un niño grande. Llegó con los valores de la analítica alterados, probablemente por la mala alimentación anterior. Después de unas semanas en el albergue y gracias al pienso especial que le han donado, su última analítica dice que ya está recuperado. Se merece que ahora se fije en él alguien que lo mire a los ojos y le diga: "Chico, esta vez será distinto, será bueno y será para siempre". ¿Te gustaría decírselo tú?

About Simba

What life with Simba looks like

Simba is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Almanimal Castalla in Spain.

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 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. Almanimal Castalla 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 — Almanimal Castalla 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 Almanimal Castalla 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 (ES). 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.
