Say hello to Simba - our 3-year-old Frenchie cross!

Simba came to us through no fault of his own and sadly he was not treated the way he should have been, despite that he is a loving friendly boy who has adapted well to life here at the centre. He is quite relaxed in his kennel now he has settled in, and sees it as his safe place, only barking if the others dogs do!

He loves being out and going to new places, even more so if he knows there’s a chance of playing or chewing some toys! He enjoys his food and can be quite enthusiastic with it! He also likes fuss from people but would always rather play if toys are around. He can become a little fixated with some toys (and things like tyres) – this will need to be managed in his new home.

Simba tolerates being bathed. He knows basic commands but is easily distracted! He has enjoyed lots of off-site walks and behaves really nicely on them. He doesn’t react to passing people or traffic, but can pull a little on the lead. He doesn’t show too much interest in other dogs on walks but we haven’t been able to do a dog test yet to say for certain how he feels about them.

We believe for the best chance of a successful adoption, Simba would be best as the only pet in an adult only home. If you would like any more information on Simba, or to apply to adopt him, please email info@rspca-preston.org.uk
