My name is Balboa!

Hi there, I’m Balboa! I’m a big, fluffy guy with a gentle heart and a prancing gait (yep, I’ve got a little pep in my step!). I was born around August 2021, and folks can't help but fall for my sweet and easy-going nature—I'm just that lovable! I’m super low-key most of the time, except when it comes to squirrels (seriously, what’s their deal?), so I might need a little help with my leash manners. If another dog struts by, I might bark, but here’s the good news: tell me to sit, and I'm happy to oblige because I’m a good boy like that! When I'm on a walk, my walking style is a dashing mix of a swagger and a prance—keeping things fancy, you know? I do have a bit of a howler bark that only comes out on special occasions, but trust me, it’s more charming than you’d think. It's more of a cute, occasional serenade than a full-on concert. Now, full disclosure: I’m not great with cats or small dogs, and I’m still figuring out how I feel about men. Also, I’m rockin’ a pirate look with one eye—don’t ask me how I lost it; I’m keeping that a mystery. But trust me, it doesn’t slow me down or stop me from being the sweet, affectionate boy you’ll love. I still see all the important stuff—like how awesome you are and where the treats are hidden! Give me a chance and you'll see I'm a gentle soul who’s full of love for the right family. I might need a bit of leash training and some patience, but with your love and guidance, I’m ready to add a touch of adventure and a whole lot of warmth to your life! So, what do you say? Ready for a little Balboa charm in your world?
