Simba's Paw
Dog Rescue
Hi My name is Pumba!
I am a 3 year old squishy tri color micro bully. I’m small and only weigh 45 lbs. I first showed up to the Front Street Shelter as a stray as a hot mess. I had skin problems, ouchies on my toes, and kennel cough. At my neuter appointment they found out I have an advanced heart murmur stage 5/6. So that means I may not have a long life to live unfortunately. Thankfully Simba’s Paw Dog Rescue rescued me 5 months ago and had to reschedule my neuter so we can get started on my new medication. They got me to the vet to see what was going on. Everyone loved me there and i got all the belly rubs! X-rays show I have a very enlarged heart and am in congestive heart failure. I was finally able to get neutered and on multiple heart medication to prolong my life as long as possible. Not the best news but I am happy and enjoying my life.
I am looking for a loving hospice/fospice home that can give me lots of love for whatever time I have left, it could be months or could be longer. I am the most adorable squishy meatball and I love to be the center of attention. I am pretty mellow and love taking naps and getting belly rubs. I need to stay on low activity for my heart which is fine with me because I love to cuddle. I can be dog selective because I’m a little grumpy with my health issues and would rather have all the attention. But I am good with female dogs and can easily co exist with other dogs with slow intros. No kitty cats!
If you are interested in being a hospice foster for Pumba please reach out. Located in Northern California and we need to be close enough for a home check and meets. Home owners with a fully fenced in yard and bully breed experience, please. We could really use some help with funds towards his vetting and care. His heart medication every month runs us around $300. We also need to make a follow up appointment at UC Davis for my heart.
