Brookhaven Adoptable Pet Of The Week: Simba

BROOKHAVEN, NY - If you're looking for a new companion, consider starting your search at a local animal shelter like the Brookhaven Animal Shelter. Despite the coronavirus pandemic, many pets are still looking for their forever homes and shelters are still working to fulfill adoptions.

One of their available pets is Simba, a 7-year-old male mixed breed.

Here's a full description of Simba from the Brookhaven Animal Shelter page:

Simba is a sweet guy who is mixed up and confused as to why he is homeless, has no family and is currently living in a shelter. He was picked up stray by an Animal Control Officer and has patiently waited for his family to come in and find him but that has not happened. Simba arrived terrified and he remains a bit shy and nervous, he will need time and a very patient human to help him shine to his fullest potential. He has made great strides and continues to blossom but we know there is so much more that he is capable of. He started out with one human friend and he now has several, we keep increasing his circle of friends and look forward to the day he lets go of his nerves and shows his confidence. He will require a few meet and greets an adult household, and to be the only fur-baby. Could you be that person? Simba is 88 pounds, estimated to be five to seven years young, up to date on vaccinations, neutered, micro-chipped, heartworm negative and looking for his hero.
