Here's Your Quick Peek:
Simba is a confident, happy, enthusiastic little poodle who believes life is meant to be enjoyed — and he should be right in the middle of it! He's affectionate, opinionated, loves people, and wants to be someone's number-one companion. At 22 pounds and 14 inches tall, he's a wonderfully sturdy little fellow who would love a partner for walks, car rides, adventures, and quiet evenings together.
Please Note: Carolina Poodle Rescue requires a meet and greet where everyone living in the home - all people and all dogs - will come to our farm to meet dogs. This is non-negotiable. Please do not apply if you and your family can't make this commitment.

Must have: A loving adult-oriented home where Simba can be a cherished companion and included in everyday life. His family must appreciate his confident personality and be willing to manage his tendency to guard food from other dogs.
Exercise: Simba enjoys walks, exploring new places, and riding in the car. He walks reasonably well on a leash, although a little refresher training would be helpful. A good daily walking program should suit him beautifully.
Best with: A single adult or couple who wants an affectionate, devoted companion. Simba enjoys calm energy and an adult lifestyle. He gets along with dogs of all sizes but doesn't require another dog. He might be perfectly delighted to be someone's one and only!
Not ideal for: Homes with children under 10 or families planning to have young children. Simba has not shown aggression toward children, but we don't believe he would enjoy the unpredictable handling and activity of toddlers. He would much rather be your number-one child himself!
Energy level: Moderate. Simba is enthusiastic and enjoys being involved in everything, but he's not hyperactive. He appreciates adventures and quiet evenings equally.
Simba came to CPR in October 2026 as an owner surrender. He's clearly been loved and is a confident, affectionate little fellow who enjoys being around people. He's a natural leader with opinions of his own!
Simba gets along well with other dogs, although he can be protective of his food around them. He allows humans to handle his food without difficulty. He was recently neutered, and while we hope some hormone-related behaviors may diminish over time, adopters should be prepared to manage his food guarding appropriately.
Good with dogs: Yes! Large and small dogs. Separate feeding is recommended because Simba doesn't appreciate other dogs trying to take his food.
Good with kids: Best with adults or children over 10. We are not recommending a home with young children.
Cats: Unknown.
Fun fact: Simba absolutely loves his crate! It's his personal retreat, complete with a big, comfortable bed. He often goes inside on his own, even when the door is wide open. Apparently, every king needs his
