About Baloo

Meet Baloo, a charming companion named after the friendly bear from The Jungle Book. At about 8 years old and weighing around 45 pounds, he embodies everything you want in a friendly pup. Baloo is sociable and gets along well with dogs, respectful children, and even cats. This well-mannered boy excels at house-training and has impressive leash skills. While he prefers being near his family and may bark or whine when left alone, he doesn’t really need a kennel. Baloo enjoys leisurely walks, watching the world from a cozy window, and snuggling up to his loved ones. A fenced yard would be a plus, but it's not essential as long as he gets his daily outings. Baloo is ready to find a loving family who can offer him a soft bed and plenty of affection. His adoption fee of $75 covers spaying/neutering, vaccinations, a wellness exam, a heartworm test, and a microchip. If you're interested in adding this sweet soul to your family, apply today!
