How do I contact the shelter about Simba?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. South East Dog Rescue 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 — South East Dog Rescue 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. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. 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 South East Dog Rescue early rather than rehoming privately; they know Simba and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

Simba

Pomeranian · Male · Adult · 8 years

Meet Simba – An 8-Year-Old Pomeranian x Husky Looking for His Forever Home ❤️ Meet our handsome boy, Simba, an 8-year-old Pomeranian x Husky weighing 15.5kg. Simba is neutered, vaccinated and microchipped, and after an incredibly sad change in circumstances, he’s once again searching for a loving forever home. We originally welcomed Simba into South East Dog Rescue five years ago when his owner could no longer care for him. He found a wonderful home where he was deeply loved, but sadly his owner has since passed away, meaning Simba has returned to our care. Simba is a wonderfully friendly, affectionate boy who genuinely enjoys being around people. He loves being included in everyday life and was a familiar face in his previous village, regularly accompanying his owner to the local pub where everyone knew and adored him. He’s a sociable little character who enjoys company and will happily join you on your daily adventures. Simba is fully house trained, keeps his kennel beautifully clean and has lovely manners around the home. Simba was born with a weakness affecting his back legs. Investigations, including X-rays and neurological assessments, have never identified a specific cause. Occasionally, particularly first thing in the morning, his back legs can be weak and splay beneath him before he gets moving. Once he’s up and about, he settles well and enjoys his walks. Since returning to us, Simba has lost around 5kg after becoming overweight, and this has made a noticeable difference to both his mobility and overall comfort. While he doesn’t need long, strenuous hikes, regular gentle exercise is important to help keep him fit, mobile and strong. One thing Simba absolutely adores is water! Thanks to a visit to Kent Canine Swim, we’ve discovered he loves swimming. Whether it’s a paddling pool, a bucket of water or, even better, a swimming pool, Simba is in his element. We’d love his new family to continue hydrotherapy or regular swimming sessions where possible, as they’re a fantastic way of helping maintain his mobility while allowing him to do something he genuinely enjoys. Simba would love a home with older, sensible children (teenagers and above). Although he can be friendly with some dogs, he can be selective and prefers choosing his own canine friends, so we’re looking for a home where he can be the only pet. He cannot live with cats. We think Simba would make a wonderful companion for an active retired couple or someone who enjoys having a loyal friend by their side. He’ll happily accompany you on outings, enjoy a gentle walk, then settle down for a cosy evening together. After losing the person he loved, Simba deserves another chance to find a family who will cherish him just as much.

About Simba

What life with Simba looks like

Simba is a adult pomeranian dog waiting at South East Dog Rescue in Greenhithe.

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 United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.
