Meet Baloo is a sweet natured, active 16-month-old Great Pyrenees. Baloo is very loving and affectionate and gets along well with people and other dogs. He's been a great friend to our 8-year-old son, often cuddling up with him at night. While he had a small hiccup early on with a too-tight hug, Baloo quickly settled into his gentle, protective nature. He thrives with regular exercise and would flourish in a home with a yard where he can roam and play. He would also thrive in a rural or farm setting. If you're looking for a loyal, loving companion with a big personality, Baloo might be the perfect match for you. Please reach out for more details!
