Baloo, 7 years Male Laborador Retriever
Mix
|
|
Baloo is an active, affectionate, people-centered, seven year old lab-mix; he loves and is very devoted to his people. He is excellent with toddlers and babies and is very gentle and has been totally safe with his growing family's little ones. He was adopted from a shelter in the South, and grew up companionably with an older female dog, but would need to be resocialized around new dogs as he has been the only dog for awhile. He LOVES to swim as you can see from the picture. He likes camping and just hanging out with his people. They feel he would benefit from a more suburban or rural environment. He is not totally at ease in the city and gets overly-excited by strange dogs walking by his house all day long and it's taking a toll on his state of mind. His people are close friends with Save A Dog and have been very responsible dog owners. We've known this dog for a long time and can attest to the fact that he has had excellent care. But with a toddler and a new baby, they are limited in the socialization and exercise they can provide him. The general consensus is that he would be happier in a rural or suburban setting where he is less confined and can get more exercise and proper socialization with other dogs. He is a very healthy dog and still has a lot of good years left to enjoy the outdoors with his new people. This is a very tough decision for his current owners, but we feel it is the right thing at this time for Baloo. Please be loving and understanding and extremely commited to dog ownership and its responsibilities.
