Plenty of Pets
Simba is a five-year-old mixed breed weighing in at 84 pounds.
He’s house-trained, crate trained, and well behaved in the home. He does bark when someone is at the door.
He loves people and is good with other dogs. He loves to play ball and go for walks. He gets very excited when he sees the leash come out, but does pull a bit.
Simba is neutered, vaccinated, treated for parasites and micro chipped. He comes with 30-days of free pet insurance courtesy of 24PetWatch. His adoption fee is $350.
