Story
Male - 18 months - 65 lbs - Microchipped - Neutered - VAHi! My name is Balsam and I am an 18-month-old, 65 lb neutered male. I am already housetrained. I do well gated in the kitchen when left home alone at my foster home. I am not a fan of crates so crate-training is a work in progress. I am very affectionate with my trusted people and my foster mom described me as a Velcro Dog as I’m always near her relaxing or asking for snuggles! I have anxiety with new people: I will bark at them and take time to warm up. I need a family who will continue working with me to gain confidence around new people and can understand my body language to help push me appropriately without overdoing it. I have done well with other dogs and would do best in a home with confident, calm canine sibling who can help guide me. I prefer my canine friends not be super excitable or “in-your-face” kind of dogs, I find them annoying and will correct them then try to remove myself. I am still figuring out what these things called toys are for, though I enjoy carrying them around! I have been living with cats in foster and am doing great with them, so feline siblings are also okay with me! My foster mom has been working hard to teach me my basic commands and I now know: sit, down, leave it, drop it, and wait (at doors). I like joining for car rides and I walk well on leash in low-distraction environments. My recall is also coming along nicely. I am an intelligent, active boy who is ready to find my perfect adoptive family to continue working with me on training and socialization. Are you my family?

Visit www.echodogs.org/available-dogs to see more of our dogs. Transportation for the adopted dog IS available. Remember, we are an all-volunteer foster rescue organization - we DO NOT have a physical shelter to visit. Our minimum adoption donation is $350. All dogs are spayed/neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations and micro-chipped. Puppies under 6 months old may not be spayed/neutered. This would be the responsibility of the adopter at their own expense. Proof of spay/neuter will be required!
