BALOO - AMERICAN STAFFORDSHIRE TERRIER / MIXED (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: American Staffordshire Terrier / Mixed (short coat). Good-natured fellow MEET BALOO! Baloo is an adorable, ~two year old, large (70-lb), bully mix (DNA is pending!) A great house guest, he is housebroken, crate trained and very good with other dogs. Having come from a crowded, rural shelter where he was consistently overlooked, he is very happy to be working on leash manners and basic commands with his foster mom and is learning - very respectfully - that cats are a thing. This big, goofy dog fits his name perfectly. Like his Disney character namesake, he's a fun-loving, easygoing, loyal, and good-natured fellow who is fast becoming best friends with his human. He loves being petted and fussed over, playing with toys, chewing on antlers and bones, chasing and squeaking his squeakies, but knows when to settle when told. He likes to play-wrestle with his 80-lb foster sister but knows when she tells him she's had enough that he should find something else to do. He can sit and watch TV or lay at your feet when you work at a desk. He's just a uniquely sweet, big lug with a wonderful temperament who is very eager to please and gets along well with everyone. Baloo has a moderate energy level; he likes to play, but isn't a non-stop tornado. He knows how to ‘Sit’ and is working on ‘Down’. He responds very well to ‘No’. Baloo is looking for a person(s) who will continue his training, take him on adventures, and teach him about the world while enjoying his antics and affection. Baloo would do great with a larger dog who enjoys playing and wrestling, but he could be an only dog as well. He is very gentle, but still very interested in cats. Baloo’s adoption donation fee is $450, which includes spay/neuter, routine vetting and a microchip.
