Simba went missing after a devastating fire and may be seeking shelter from the dangerous cold.

WEST CHICAGO, IL -- Two weeks after a devastating kennel fire claimed the lives over more than 30 dogs in West Chicago, a dog that escaped during the chaos is still missing. With heavy snow on the ground and below-zero temperatures approaching, Simba's owners are holding out hope that community members can stay on the lookout for him and send along any sign they have of a sighting.

Simba is described as a tan and white adult male bully breed who may have sustained injuries in the fire. Those searching for him believe he may be hiding or have taken shelter in a covered area or outdoor shed.
