My story

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

Meet Baloo – Your Shy Sweetheart with a Big Heart 🖤🐾

Say hello to Baloo, our handsome black and white Boxer/Labrador Retriever mix with the sweetest soul! At just over one year old, this lovable guy has already won the hearts of everyone who’s gotten to know him—and he’s ready to find a forever home where he can truly shine.

Baloo came to us from another shelter where he spent about six months, some of that time in a loving foster home. In foster, he lived with another dog and two kiddos who he adored playing with. He especially loved romping around the fenced backyard, soaking up all the fun and affection a family has to offer.

He may be a little shy at first, but give him a moment and you’ll meet the real Baloo—a total cuddle bug who thrives on love and companionship. He gets along wonderfully with other dogs and really enjoys doggie playgroups. He’s the kind of pup who would love a home with another friendly dog or someone who’s ready to spend time playing, walking, and snuggling with him.

Baloo is fully housetrained and knows how to use a doggie door. He's also a great car rider and loads up like a pro, making him the perfect travel companion. He’s not the biggest fan of crates, so he’d prefer a home where he doesn’t have to spend too much time confined.

Leash walks? He’s a natural. Training? He’s food motivated, super smart, and picks things up quickly. Snacks and praise go a long way with this boy!

If you’re looking for a loyal, gentle, and affectionate companion with a heart of gold and a playful streak, Baloo might just be your perfect match. Come meet him and see for yourself—he’s ready to be someone’s best friend for life. 💕🐶

Additional adoption info

When you decide to adopt a pet, we charge a fee to cover some of our costs. (Except for 2 employees, all others are volunteers!) If there is any problem with your adopted pet, call us to work out a solution. Occasionally, we do take adopted pets back, but very seldom. This is why visiting our shelter is so important! We are willing to work with you! And we appreciate referrals!
