Simba, pit bull terrier mix
Simba is a lovable male pit bull terrier mix being cared for at Chako Pit Bull Rescue.
Simba gets along well with children, dogs or cats. He's already house-trained. Simba is already neutered, and he has had all his shots.
Here's what Simba's friends at Chako Pit Bull Rescue think of him:
Simba is a sweet and loving five-year-old boy who loves people and children and would love nothing more than to be an 80 lb lap dog. He is completely unaware of his size and can sometimes catch you off guard when he is excited to see you. He will run laps around the backyard and loves to chase the ball.

My name is Elmer and I am three years old. I don't have a history with dogs, but bring your dog down to meet with me to see how we get along. I find cats a little too interesting, so best to keep them away.
