Breed: Mini Australian Shepherd/Spaniel Mix Estimated DOB: 02/01/2024 Sex: Male (neutered) Weight: 15 lbs Currently up to date on all age appropriate vaccinations Things To Know about Simba: - Rescued from Mississippi - Would do best in a home with children 5 and older who can take his cues and give him time when he's feeling nervous - Returned to TLC through no fault of his own and thriving in foster care - Super loving, curious, and affectionate boy who thinks "personal space" is just a suggestion - Will jump on your lap, crawl up your shoulders, and sit as close to your face as possible - he just wants to be near you! - Also happy to settle in on his own and explore his surroundings - Takes a short time to warm up to new people - may hide behind his person at first, but melts with treats and affection - Has found a love for stuffed toys - obsesses over one at a time, carries it around, and plays fetch (but will eventually pull out all the stuffing, so supervision recommended!) - Uses his paws like a little monkey to grab your hand when he wants pets - Needs some confidence building on the leash - prefers walking in your shadow rather than leading - A bit nervous about stairs but adapts quickly to new things (like the Roomba!) - Happily goes into his crate when the door is open and keeps it clean - Working on crate training, especially settling at night when he knows you're home - he just wants to be with his people! - Housebroken - Learns quickly and just needs patience and consistency from his adopters to continue building confidence - Dog friendly and follows other dogs around - would enjoy a playful dog companion with similar energy, but would also be happy as an only dog - Has not been assessed with cats yet - Looking for a loving and committed forever home to provide him with the care and love he deserves Learn more and apply to adopt at TLCrescuePA/adopt Interested in fostering?
