Adopt SIMBA

English Bulldog · Male · Adult · 5 years

SIMBA is back at the shelter because his resource guarding issue was difficult to manage. He is a friendly and approachable dog with humans but still retains his little bulldog personality! Potential adopters will need to be aware of this and ready to continue working on resource management and handling. SIMBA will need a clear and spacious environment with informed people, accompanied by a positive and gentle trainer. A placement without young children will be mandatory. Come meet him!

Read original (fr)

Simba est de retour au refuge car sa problématique de protection de ressource était difficile à gérer. C'est un chien sympa et avenant avec l'humain mais qui garde néanmoins son petit caractère de bouledogue ! Il aura besoin d’adoptants conscients de cela et prêts à poursuivre un travail sur la gestion de ressources et des manipulations. Simba aura besoin d'un cadre clair, spacieux et des personnes informées, accompagné par un éducateur en méthode positive et bienveillante. Un placement sans jeunes enfants sera obligatoire. Venez le rencontrer !

About SIMBA

What life with SIMBA looks like

SIMBA is a adult english bulldog dog waiting at SPA Gennevilliers (Grammont) in Gennevilliers.

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 France

French refuges follow the SPA framework: adopters sign a cession contract that includes sterilization, vaccinations, microchip identification, and rabies passport. Fees are typically €150–€300. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

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. SPA Gennevilliers (Grammont) 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 — SPA Gennevilliers (Grammont) 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 SPA Gennevilliers (Grammont) 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 (FR). 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.
