About Pumba
Pumba, a one-year-old male Staffy mix, is a sensitive and timid dog, particularly in unfamiliar settings. He seeks comfort by staying close to his human companion, showing a preference for quiet and calm environments. Pumba's limited exposure to the world has left him wary of loud noises and bustling surroundings, underscoring the need for a patient and understanding home environment. Despite his initial reserve, Pumba quickly forms bonds with people and exhibits an affectionate nature.
While Pumba is friendly and amiable with other dogs, his lack of socialization may initially render him unsure about how to engage in play. Nonetheless, he is open to companionship and may thrive in a home with another dog, provided secure fencing is in place for his safety. If you're seeking a loyal and loving companion who thrives on gentle guidance, consider welcoming Pumba into your home. With patience and compassion, he has the potential to overcome his reservations and become a cherished member of your family.

As our goal is to adopt animals out from the shelter into loving homes as fast as possible, multiple bookings may be made for the same animal.
We are not able to hold any animals for any reason.
