💙 Meet Baloo – your adventure buddy, snack enthusiast and loyal best friend! 🐾

🐶 At 3.5 years old, Baloo is at that wonderful age where he's left the puppy antics behind but still has plenty of fun, love and adventures ahead of him. 🎉

🩵 Baloo is a happy, affectionate boy who loves spending time with people. Whether it's heading out for a walk, jumping in the car for an adventure, or cooling off with a paddle in the creek, he's always happy to be part of the action.
And when the adventure is over? One of Baloo's favourite things includes stretching out for a sunny snooze and soaking up as many belly rubs and ear scratches as possible. When the day is done, he's more than happy to curl up nearby for a relaxed evening - Baloo has the perfect mix of play and chill! 🙏🏻

😋 One of the quickest ways to Baloo's heart is through his stomach — this boy absolutely loves his food! Treats are a great motivator for training, and he's a clever lad who enjoys learning new things.
Baloo would love a family who will continue his training and give him the love and companionship he's been waiting for. 🥰

Could Baloo be your perfect match? Apply to meet him and find out 🌟
