Baloo

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

Baloo is a male dog around 4 years old, medium size. He is one of those dogs that immediately win your heart. A beautiful setter, elegant and very sweet, with that slightly wrinkled face that makes him even more cute, unique, and irresistible. It's the detail that sets him apart, gives him character, and makes you smile every time you look at him. Baloo is a dog that lives for love. He approaches you gently, seeks your hand, and rests his muzzle on your legs as if that contact is the most important thing in the world. He is affectionate, sensitive, a companion who knows how to give calm and joy at the same time. He runs like lightning, lives like a party. When Baloo runs, it's pure poetry. He moves lightly, quickly, happily, with a way of moving that seems to say: "Finally I'm free, finally I can be myself." Seeing him run is a gift: an explosion of life, energy, and enthusiasm.

About Baloo

What life with Baloo looks like

Baloo is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Canile Municipale di Asti in Asti (Piemonte).

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇮🇹Adopting from Italy

Italian canili require adopters to sign a stewardship contract (affido) and may retain the right to verify the animal's wellbeing post-adoption. Animals are chipped and sterilized before leaving (Legge 281/91). Public canili rifugio typically waive adoption fees.

Frequently asked

Adopting Baloo, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Baloo?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Canile Municipale di Asti handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Baloo on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Baloo if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Canile Municipale di Asti will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Baloo already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Baloo isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Canile Municipale di Asti early rather than rehoming privately; they know Baloo and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (IT). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
