Saturday we took the kids to meet some dogs in need of adoption, and we left with one. It wasn't supposed to happen that way, but it did. Meet Simba, our eight-week old German Shepard mix.
The Lost Dog Rescue Foundation brought in dozens of dogs that needed adoption. I told the kids that we were going to meet some dogs, but not to expect much more. And then we saw this very mellow, mild-mannered, tawny fur ball. And after filling out the adoption paperwork and a lengthy interview, we were told he was ours.
We are using the crate method to housebreak him, and after forty-eight hours the progress is evident. He is a great fit for our family, and already making amazing strides in the potty-training arena.
His favorite toy is a tennis ball. When he is outside he loves to walk around with large brown maple leaves in his mouth.

Awwwww! Simba is sooo CUTE and cuddly and huggy and lovely!!! Good job primo!!!
:) I've been waking up at all hours of the night to take him outside and have been sleeping less, but it has been worth it. He is a cool dog.
awesome!!! man, all we ever talk about at our house is the lack of dog....i'm going to have to forward your link to tim to see if it loosens him up....
we had a 16 year old black lab that died in the spring.
omg i want him!!
You can visit anytime ;) or send Tim over to soften him up.
Cute dog, I want one but I was told I was the only dog allowed in the house! :(
Oye, that's funny...but there is always hope. Daniela was not a "dog person," and she fell hard for this puppy.
Awww! Bring him by so he can play with Oscar!
