CAN'T WAIT TO BE KING OF YOUR JUNGLE  He might not be a lion but this 15-pound Yorkshire Terrier/Toy Poodle mix is ready to be the four-legged king of your castle. Simba has a very sweet disposition, is energetic, and at only 2 years-old, is ready to play and experience the world. This little guy didn't receive much training or vet care until he came to TDR, so in some ways he's a blank slate. He definitely needs an individual or family devoted to caring for him and teaching him how to fulfill his destiny as an excellent pet. Simba is neutered, heartworm negative and in the process of getting up to date on vaccinations. He recently had a 12-month injection for heartworm prevention. He is friendly with cats, his fellow canines and also children. Simba does well in the car and also tolerates the crate but he's not house- or leash trained. Available through Tired Dog Rescue, Gulfport, MS. Fee: $175. Apply at tireddogrescue.org

We at Tired Dog Rescue strive to find homes for dogs in need, build quality relationships with responsible owners, and preserve current dog-family homes by seeking solutions to financial, behavioral, and situational dog problems. We believe the lives of homeless, abandoned and abused dogs are just as precious as dogs that currently have a loving home. We believe that all dogs deserve a loving home despite their age, medical condition and/or disabilities. We provide whatever medical care is needed regardless of cost. All dogs are spayed/neutered, heartworm negative and current on vaccinations before being placed.
