Hi everyone, my name is Simba
Meet Simba, a big-hearted american staffordshire searching for a new place to call home. After his previous owners were no longer able to care for him, Simba has found himself looking for a fresh start.
Simba is a big goofy boy, who’s spent a lot of time outdoors in his previous home, so he would thrive in a house with a secure backyard where he can potter, sunbake, and stretch his legs.
He’s best suited to a moderately active home—a daily walk, some enrichment, and plenty of love will keep this boy happy. Simba can get excited and sometimes jump so a home with dog-savvy kids aged 10+ would be a great match.
Simba isn’t too fussed about interacting with other dogs, so a home with no other animals is best.
Simba is ready for his next chapter with someone who will give him structure, companionship, and all the comforts he deserves.
If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion with plenty of personality, Simba just might be your guy.

Adopting an animal
Adopting an animal is a rewarding experience that will last a lifetime. But before you adopt a pet please take some time to consider the commitment you are about to make. Sometimes the excitement of pet ownership can overshadow factors that should be considered before adoption.
Adopting a shelter pet is a lifelong decision that will have a major impact to your normal, everyday life. Please remember that a cat or dog can live for up to 20 years and they will rely only on you for their wellbeing for their entire life.
- Do I have time to exercise the dog every day?
- Do I have time for puppy pre-school and time to socialise a puppy?
- Do I have at least an hour every day to spend with my cat?
- Do I have time for obedience training?
- If renting, does the landlord permit pets?
- Is the backyard big enough and is the fencing secure?
- Does the whole family want a pet?
- Will the pet be allowed inside?
- Will I have to move interstate or overseas in the foreseeable future?
- Will I have to move to another rental property where the landlord may not allow pets.
Pets are a lifelong monetary commitment, you will need to factor in:
- Weekly animal food bills and necessities
- Yearly council registration
- Monthly medications like heart worm/intestinal worm and flea treatments
- Annual vet visits for vaccinations and check ups
- Unexpected vet bills due to accidents or medical conditions
- Ongoing grooming
- Boarding fees for human holidays
- Enrichment like training, toys etc
