Simba

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 8 years

The Story of Simba: Simba was found as a puppy by one of the shelter's staff members. Simba grew into an adult dog and became one of the many long-stayers. The years flew by, and the puppy from back then is now a senior. The shelter had long stopped expecting that anyone would still be interested in Simba. The volunteers were therefore pleasantly surprised that we have been chosen to adopt Simba. Fortunately, the blood test is still valid, because the shelter has kept up the rabies vaccination every year. If you are even one day late, the blood test is no longer valid and you will have to repeat that expensive test before you may travel to Europe. To prepare Simba as well as possible, one of the volunteers takes her for a walk every Saturday. Simba is always happy to see people. She can startle easily in new situations, but it is easy to reassure her with your voice. Let's not forget that she came to us as a young puppy and knows no other life than that of the shelter. She does not like it when other dogs jump on her, especially when they are bigger. She speaks dog language very well and is clear in her communication with other dogs. Simba is a sweet dog, sometimes a bit jealous when it comes to sharing the scarce human attention. She enjoys going for walks and walks alongside without pulling. She responds very well to patience, kindness and encouragement. This little dog gives a lot of affection and will be very loyal to her new family. For Simba we are looking for adopters who already have experience with dogs and have sufficient time and patience. Who will give Simba the chance of her life to become a true family dog? She has been waiting so long for it! For more information about the shelter in Göcek, see: .

Het verhaal van Simba: Simba werd als pup gevonden door een van de medewerkers van het asiel. Simba groeide tot volwassen hond. en werd een van de vele langzitters. De jaren vlogen om en de pup van toen is nu senior. Het asiel had er al niet meer op gerekend dat er nog interesse voor Simba zou komen. De vrijwilligers waren dan ook blij verrast dat we Simba voor adoptie hebben uitgekozen. Gelukkig is de bloedtest nog steeds geldig, omdat het asiel elk jaar de rabiësvaccinatie heeft bijgehouden. Geef je die 1 dag te laat, is de bloedtest niet meer geldig en moet je die dure test opnieuw doen om naar Europa te mogen reizen. Om Simba zo goed mogelijk voor te bereiden, gaat een van de vrijwilligers elke zaterdag met haar wandelen. Simba is altijd blij om mensen te zien. Ze kan snel schrikken in nieuwe situaties, maar het is gemakkelijk om haar gerust te stellen met je stem. Laten we niet vergeten dat ze als jonge pup bij ons is gekomen en geen ander leven kent dan dat van het asiel. Ze vindt het niet leuk als andere honden op haar springen, vooral als ze groter zijn. Ze spreekt de hondentaal prima en is duidelijk in haar communicatie naar andere honden. Simba is een lieve hond, soms wat jaloers als het gaat om de schaarse menselijke aandacht te delen. Vindt het fijn om mee te gaan wandelen en loopt mee zonder te trekken. Reageert heel goed op geduld, vriendelijkheid en aanmoediging. Dit hondje geeft veel genegenheid en zal heel trouw zijn aan haar nieuwe familie. Voor Simba zoeken wij adoptanten die al hondenervaring hebben en over voldoende tijd en geduld beschikken. Wie geeft Simba de kans van haar leven om een echte familiehond te worden? Ze wacht er al zo lang op! Voor meer informatie over het asiel in Göcek, zie: .

About Simba

What life with Simba looks like

Simba is an adult mixed breed dog waiting at Stichting Wereldhonden in Netherlands.

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 Netherlands

Dutch shelters typically require a household assessment and an adoption contract. Animals are routinely sterilized, microchipped, and registered in the national pet database (NDG) before placement.

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. Stichting Wereldhonden 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 — Stichting Wereldhonden 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 Stichting Wereldhonden 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 (NL). 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.
