About Baloo

Baloo is an adorable little guy who was found wandering the streets. He’s got a lovely coat of gray and white that is growing back beautifully after being shaved, possibly due to matting. This friendly dog seems to have a special fondness for men, often gravitating toward the males in his foster home, yet he is not standoffish with women. He does the cutest little dance when he wants something, standing on his back legs and begging with his tiny, wiggling feet—it's quite the sight! Baloo gets along well with other small dogs but may be better suited to a home with female pups, as he can show some dominance over male dogs. At around 3-4 years old, he is in great health and will be neutered and completely vetted by September 29th, ready for his new family just after. He requires a home with a fenced yard for safe exercise and exploration. His adoption fee is $300, which covers all his vetting costs. If you're interested in meeting this sweet boy, please reach out via email with your contact number to discuss the adoption process. Your new best friend is just one click away.
