About Simba

PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE BIO ON THIS DOG BEFORE REQUESTING AN APPLICATION. MANY OF OUR DOGS HAVE STRICT REQUIREMENTS FOR THEIR ADOPTION. 6-year-old male Maltese/Chihuahua, about 5 pounds. Hi, I am Simba! My name implies that I am big. However, I am a small little gentleman with a big personality. I am in a house with two other dogs (Shih Tzus) and sometimes four when the family visits with their two mini dachshunds. We chase each other around the yard. Sometimes I join in on the chase. I love my food and am not fussy. I also share my food with everyone. Sometimes, my two Shih Tzu sisters want some of my food and I let them. I love treats. One of my favorite things is to be close to my foster mom. If she is sitting down, I want to be on her lap. If she gets up, I follow her. She may decide to give treats, and I want to be there for that. I am mostly potty trained but sometimes I have accidents if I cannot get access to the outside. I walk well on a leash and am always friendly with other dogs. We have lots of visitors to the house: men and women and even a few children. I always let them know I am here, and I see them. My foster mom tells me, 'enough.' Then I usually give one more bark to say ok. Though my bark sounds big and ferocious, I never nip or try to bite. I like to give permission to pick me up. So, if you bend down, I may back up until I think it is ok. I am working on the stairs, but right now, I cannot seem to get them. My foster mom carries me up and down the stairs. One of my Shih Tzu stepsisters does stairs, but one does not, so I am in good company. My foster mom calls me a Velcro dog. I do like to be close to her wherever she is and whatever she is doing. So, I would like someone who is either retired or works from home so I can keep them company. My foster mom says I am a sweetheart! To request an adoption application, email [email protected] Adoption contract and fee applies. All adoptable dogs can be met at adoption events hosted every weekend. For a list of scheduled events go to: https://www.facebook.com/SmidgetRescue/events . Smidget Rescue is not a shelter, and dogs cannot be seen at the Rescue location. All dogs are fostered throughout the Puget Sound area and are brought to the events where they can be met by prospective adopters. Additional pictures of adoptable dogs can be seen at: https://www.facebook.com/SmidgetRescue/photos_stream?tab=photos_albums. All adoptable dogs are spayed or neutered at 6 months of age or older. Puppies are adopted with a refundable spay/neuter deposit (in addition to the adoption fee) and adopters are required to get their puppy to our vet for their pre-scheduled spay-neuter appointments. APPLICATIONS CAN BE OBTAINED BY EMAIL ONLY. Adoption process includes application, meet & greet, home visit and reference check. Email Jamie at [email protected] or click on the CONTACT link on this page. PLEASE DOUBLE CHECK YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS BEFORE SENDING. 8632781We get a fair number of incorrect emails and Jamie is not able to contact potential adopters. Notice: We do not ship dogs out of state. You must live within a three-hour radius of Seattle, WA, (such as Portland, Vancouver B.C., etc.), so we can arrange for a home visit. If your home seems like a great fit for the dog you would like to adopt, you must then drive to meet the dog at one of our weekend events or at the fosters home.
