Simba, an 8-year-old Labrador Malinois crossbreed, lives in our shelter in Calvià since October last year. She previously was kept with another large dog and two small dogs in a small flat. When her owner lost his flat, all the dogs had to be rehomed at short notice. Simba’s 3 dog friends have now found their families – only Simba has been denied this happiness so far 😔. The situation at the animal shelter is still very difficult for the beautiful dog and she hardly gets any rest there.
Unfortunately, the stress level there is really high for her. Only when you take her for a walk through the mountains far enough away from the shelter or spend time with her in our exercise area, she is able to slowly relax and calm down.
Just show her “normal” nature.  She is very people-orientated, but needs a little time to get involved with her human. She tends to be rather stable and doesn’t really like people to change all the time.

Simba definitely needs people with dog experience who are able to lead her clearly and consistently. Small children should not be present. And cats are an absolute no-go. Simba needs a stable environment without a lot of stress – with people who really have enough time and preferably in a quiet or rural neighbourhood. It is important to give this wonderful dog a sense of security and calm, not to have too high expectations, but to give her the time she needs and to provide her with good and sufficient physical and mental support. She has not had so many opportunities in her previous life and still needs to be introduced to some new things. If you can comply with this, you will have a really great companion at your side in Simba – a companion who will definitely stand by you. It would be so important for us to find a new and suitable family for her as soon as possible so that she can finally settle down again – outside the shelter and with her own people.
