Meet Baloo

This is Baloo, an approximately 2-year-old male American Bully, became a Misfit in the summer of 2020. Baloo was brought into a local shelter showing signs of severe neglect. He was covered in ticks, had untreated entropion in both eyes, and was starved to the point of being skin and bones. Baloo is neutered, up to date on all age-appropriate vaccinations and preventatives, heartworm negative, and micro-chipped.

He is house trained. He does not use a kennel but would probably be fine in one. He needs some work on leash manners but loves going for walks! He enjoys going for rides in the car, too.

Baloo knows how to sit and is learning touch. He is a quick learner who can easily be trained for more commands. Due to the nature of his past neglect, he's a big fan of food. He will do just about anything for food or treats. But he doesn't want to share so make sure he's always fed in his own safe space where no other pets might intrude.

Baloo lives with a 1-year-old child in his foster home and loves him very much. He has done well with kids of all ages. Due to his energy level and size, please use caution around smaller kids so that he doesn't accidentally knock them over.

We don't know for sure if Baloo likes cats but we can guess that he would like to chase them. Baloo loves to play with other dogs but it's important that they can tolerate his energy level. He doesn't always recognize cues to slow down or take it easy. Therefore he does best with very friendly and playful dogs, but he doesn't mesh as well with dogs who are more dominant or assertive.

Baloo is a happy-go-lucky guy with a real zest for life. His giant ears are one of his best characteristics. We love to watch them move around like satellites as he listens to everything around him.

Baloo is so well-behaved in the house that he has never been kenneled at his foster home. He is one of the best dogs we've ever had the joy of fostering. He goes to the door and barks when he needs to potty and he barks when he's ready to come back inside.

Baloo enjoys sunbathing outside at times but his favorite spot is curled up on the couch. He enjoys playing fetch and tug of war. Squeaky toys bring him so much joy. He is the perfect mix of laid back and playful. He usually has a daily burst of energy that involves playing with his toys and zooming around the yard. Then the rest of the day is spent snoozing in a soft spot, preferably cuddled up with a human.

Baloo is not a 'guard dog' type and rarely even gets up when someone comes in the front door. He's just a lover and will be the best snuggle buddy you've ever known.
