Baloo

Meet Baloo

Meet Baloo! His favorite things are sniffy walks, cuddling and
getting pets from familiar people, and treats. Baloo is a bit reserved at
first, but is able to eventually warm up and is looking for a patient
family who can give an adopted dog some time to decompress in the new home.
Baloo loves to play and is full of energy, and would make a great companion
for a hiker, runner, or just an admirer of the great outdoors. Baloo
prefers the company of human friends to canine friends and wants to be your
only dog, but would enjoy having dog friends to go on walks with. He has
lived with cats before, but only briefly interacted with them, and we think
he would live with a dog-savvy cat with complete separation to start!

Baloos first few weeks at home should be calm and predictable, with a
small social circle and plenty of space to decompress. Hes looking for
adopters who can read his body language, respect his need for space, and
use positive reinforcement to help him build confidence.

If you think Baloo could be a good match for your home and would like to learn more, stop by our Nevins Farm Adoption Center in Methuen. We have open adoption hours Tuesday – Sunday from 12:00 pm – 4:30 pm with no appointment or application needed.

Please note, in an effort to keep the stress levels reduced for the dogs in our care, our dog kennel areas will not be open to walk through. Interested adopters will work with a matchmaker on staff to determine which dog(s) they are interested in and if we can identify a match, potential adopters will be able to meet those dogs outside of the kennel. Cat and small animal areas will remain open to walk through.
