Born in an abandoned lot where other street dogs lived, neighbors say they were up to 6 puppies spotted but they were disappearing one by one probably taken by kids or other dogs, that is when a good neighbor started gaining Simba's mom trust by giving her food and as soon as Simba's mom allowed her to get near, she took Mom and puppies into safe keeping and into a foster home among other rescued dog. Unfortunately, and during that period of time gap it was detected that Simba and his family were being mistreated by some of the fosters family members and then they were proceeded to be removed from there ( December 2023) .
