My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Balo should have a halo -- he is such an amazingly well-mannered and highly intelligent gentleman, eh gentle dog. And look at his gorgeous black coat. He is the full package: looks, manners, and brains. Balo has it all.

This handsome guy came to the shelter from a bit of a rough situation -- but you`d never know it if you met him today. He walks perfectly on the leash and is otherwise a very gregarious pup. He loves playing with his toys. He can spend quite a while self-entertaining this way and will be a house buddy if he has plenty of those around.

Raise your hand, if you need a Balo with a halo!
