Simba's Final Chapter - From Struggles to Snuggles
Simba’s story began on August 16, 2024, when he arrived at Wet Nose Animal Rescue Centre after enduring unimaginable hardships. This 2-year-old Ridgeback with a broken leg, malnourished and covered in ticks, Simba had escaped a life of confinement, wandering over 20 kilometres in search of freedom.
Thanks to the incredible support of our compassionate community, Simba received the life-saving surgery he so desperately needed. Over the months that followed, he endured a long and challenging recovery, resting with a splint to protect his leg while our team showered him with love and care.
Now the moment we’ve all been waiting for — the happiest chapter of Simba’s story has been written! On December 31, 2024, Simba officially went to his forever home. The most heartwarming part? He was adopted by the very person who booked him at the start of his journey, patiently waiting throughout his recovery to give him the loving home he always deserved.
Simba is thriving in his new life, surrounded by a family that adores him and a bunch of new furry friends to keep him company. He has settled in beautifully, enjoying every belly rub, treat, and playful moment that comes his way. Seeing Simba in a place where he is so loved and cherished fills our hearts with immense joy.
Simba’s journey is a testament to the power of love, resilience, and community. To everyone who donated, shared his story, or sent their well-wishes, this beautiful ending would not have been possible without you.
As Simba begins his new life, let his story be a reminder of the countless other animals who are still waiting for their second chance. If you feel inspired to make a difference, whether through adoption, sponsorship, or spreading awareness, please contact us at admin@wetnose.co.za or 082 677 8084.
