Adopt Simba

Male · Adult · 5 years

Simba is a sweet and calm male dog who came to our shelter together with Nala. They came from a good shelter that unfortunately had to close due to financial reasons.Simba lives together with Nala; they cuddle, play, and are very affectionate with each other. Simba loves to sit with people for cuddles and attention. He walks nicely on the leash and enjoys lying outside in the sunshine.Simba is slightly overweight and is on a diet to help him slim down. He is best adopted together with Nala, but he can also do well as the only pet. Simba deserves a calm and loving home where he can receive plenty of attention and affection.Simba es un perro macho dulce y tranquilo que llegó a nuestro refugio junto con Nala. Provenían de un buen refugio que, lamentablemente, tuvo que cerrar por motivos financieros.Simba vive junto a Nala; se acurrucan, juegan y son muy cariñosos entre ellos. A Simba le encanta estar con las personas para recibir caricias y atención. Camina correctamente con correa y disfruta de tumbarse al sol afuera.Simba tiene un poco de sobrepeso y está siguiendo una dieta para adelgazar. Se adopta mejor junto con Nala, pero también puede adaptarse bien como única mascota. Simba merece un hogar tranquilo y lleno de amor, donde pueda recibir mucha atención y cariño.

About Simba

What life with Simba looks like

Simba is a large adult dog waiting at PAWS-PATAS Animal Shelter 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. PAWS-PATAS Animal Shelter 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 — PAWS-PATAS Animal Shelter 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 PAWS-PATAS Animal Shelter 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.
