Meet the sweetest boy in the world, Baloo! Baloo came to SHR almost 5 years ago as a puppy and today, is finding himself losing the only home he has ever known. Baloo's family has experienced some recent changes due to the economy, downsizing, etc and are unable to keep Baloo. While we all have mixed feelings on this, our goal is to find him a new home ASAP before he loses the one he is in on Jun 13th. I would HATE for Baloo to go to boarding after being a house dog his entire life.
Baloo is a 5 year old Saint Bernard/Pointer Mix. He is about 80 lbs. He wobbles a bit when he walks & always has, but we have had him checked out, it is not hip dysplasia. The vet found a couple of pellets from a pellet gun near his tail end as a baby and thinks maybe that is what caused the wobble, a bit of nerve damage from the pellets. It certainly doesn't bother him. Baloo is also just the tiniest bit cross-eyed, which makes him even more adorable. He knows how to sit, lay down, and shake on command. If you turn off the TV, or say "Bedtime" or "Go to Bed" he will immediately get up and go to his bed and lay down. He also likes to put his feet only on the top step of the pool and drink. He does not swim, but likes to wade.
Baloo has been the sweetest tempered dog his family ever had the pleasure of owning. He is great with other dogs (big and small), cats and kids. Please help us find him a fabulous home lightening fast so his world isn't disrupted anymore than it has to be. He will already be heartbroken enough losing his family.
