About Simba ~ Jack Russell X Foxie (on trial 30/8/19)
Simba is a playful approximately 5 year old male Jack Russell x Foxie. He weighs approximately 5kg. Simba is very clever! He can sit, stay, shake and come when called and is toilet trained. He also walks well on a lead. Simba doesn’t generally bark at people or other dogs but will follow if other dogs do.
Simba gets along great with other female dogs but not males. Ideally he would be adopted to a home with a female dog to keep him company and help him overcome his anxiety. Simba can be quite aggressive/scared of cats so would best suit a home with no cats. He also has no boundaries when it comes to chickens and birds and may attack them.
Simba has been a mostly indoor dog while staying with his foster carers and has had access to a doggy door for toileting. He currently sleeps in the bedroom of his foster carers’ but will often sneak into their bed for snuggles. Simba loves squeaky toys and loves his carers to chase him and pretend to try and grab his toy off him. Simba likes to be patted but he's not a huge cuddler, although he seems fine being picked up. He doesn’t bite but playfully chews on your hand sometimes during play time.
Simba doesn’t really enjoy car rides and will cry a little when in the car. He needs a secure yard as he is quite small and can sneak under gaps in your fences and doesn’t appear to have any road sense. He likes to follow his carers around and play a lot. Simba has lots of energy! He is able to find enjoyment in playing with other dogs, carers as well as alone.
He hasn’t been around too many kids but seems fine with them and is ready to find his forever home. He would suit someone without a cat, with female dogs or no other dogs and someone who will have time to play with him and walk him often.
