About Baloo

Baloo is one of seven puppies who seem to have some Black Mouth Cur mixed in. He has a striking tan coat with a dark muzzle that stands out at first glance. Baloo and his siblings came into rescue after their mom, owned by a man without stable housing, was allowed to deliver her litter safely under foster care. Once the pups were old enough to be weaned, their mom was spayed, vaccinated, and returned to her owner, while the pups stayed with the rescue for placement. Baloo is already comfortable on leash and kennel trained. He is neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. He’s at that perfect young age for learning and forming a strong attachment with his future family. If you're looking for a young, trainable, and friendly companion, Baloo is ready to meet you in Wilton, CA. Click apply and let the tail-wagging begin!
