For an entire year now, Baloo has been waiting. One full year since he was pulled from the shelter just an hour before euthanasia, and somehow he is still here, still hopeful, still ready for the family who will finally choose him. Baloo is about 2 years old and truly one of those dogs who just wants to be loved. He is cuddly, affectionate, and happiest when he is close to his people. He is smart and attentive, a great listener who is easy to redirect and eager to please. He loves car rides, enjoys being out and about, and settles beautifully at home for snuggles and sunshine. Baloo does well with other dogs after a slow and proper introduction. He is not food aggressive and does not beg, which makes him easy to have around. He can live with older kids but may be a bit too strong for very young ones. He is curious about cats, so a cat free home would be the best fit for him. He is fully vetted, neutered, house trained, and ready to step straight into a forever home. What he truly needs now is someone who will see past the fact that he has been overlooked and recognize the incredible companion standing right in front of them. Baloo has already beaten the odds once. He just needs someone to believe in him again. After a year of waiting, he is more than ready to finally belong.
