My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

Baloo is a 4 year old purebred silver lab that was purchased from a breeder.  He is very affectionate but he needs to be the one who initiates it.  He loves to just sit and be pet, take a car ride and loves to hike and swim.

​ Watch Baloo playing here . He has some special needs and life with lots of outdoor space such as a farm would be great for him. He will need a person with strong dog handling skills and big dog experience.  

At this point, we feel that Baloo would do best as an only dog. While he does not react to other dogs outside of the home, he does not always like to share his indoor space with them.

Baloo is loved and cherished within our rescue and will need a very special situation to succeed in any home. He is considered a special needs dog by us and will need to have special handling to succeed. 

If you are interested submit an application at njshpetrescue.org. 
* You must live within 90 minutes of Chester NJ to be considered as an in-person home visit is required for all adoptions.
