Baloo

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

Baloo is a wonderful 2-year-old young male. Initially shy and distrustful, he quickly becomes very affectionate and sociable once he gets to know you and forms a bond. He seeks out human company both for cuddles and for play. With other dogs, he’s friendly and calm, so compatibility with a dog of a more confident temperament could be considered—this would be a great help for Baloo. On walks, he’s still a bit cautious around new stimuli, but since coming to the shelter, he’s making significant progress. We’re looking for a family who can respect his pace and approach him in the right way, taking him on nature walks with minimal distractions. He loves swimming in the river and enjoys eating all kinds of food and treats.

IT·Show original

Baloo è uno stupendo giovanotto di 2 anni. Di carattere inizialmente timido e diffidente, ma appena ti conosce e crea un legame è molto affettuoso e socievole. Cerca la presenza delle persone sia per le coccole che per il gioco. Con i cani è socievole e tranquillo, si possono quindi valutare eventuali compatibilità con un cane di carattere solido, che per Baloo sarebbe un grande aiuto. In passeggiata è ancora un pò timoroso verso gli stimoli, da quando è in canile però sta facendo grossi miglioramenti. Cerchiamo per lui una famiglia capace di rispettare i suoi tempi e di approcciarsi nel modo corretto, che lo porti a fare passeggiate nella natura, in presenza di pochi stimoli. Ama fare i bagni al fiume, mangiare la pappa tutti i tipi di premieti.

About Baloo

What life with Baloo looks like

Baloo is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Canile Rifugio di Brescia in Brescia.

An young 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 Rifugio di Brescia 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 Rifugio di Brescia 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
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 Rifugio di Brescia 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.
