Balin lost both of his eyes due to injury as a young puppy, but you’d never know it! He lives life full-speed ahead and doesn’t let anything slow him down.<br/><br/>This big personality is looking for a home where he can be the one and only pet. He sometimes forgets just how large (and enthusiastic) he is, so a pet-free home is the best match for him.<br/><br/>If you’re ready for a hilarious, larger-than-life companion who will keep you laughing and loved, Balin’s your guy.
