Baloo

Mixed Breed · Male

Baloo ID No.: 1047229 Breed: mixed breed Age: approx. 07/2015 Sex: male Shoulder height: approx. 55 cm Neutered: Yes Country: Germany Location: Gelsenkirchen ZIP: 45899 Inquiry form Baloo – a confident male dog seeking his forever happiness The charming Baloo (*approx. 07/2015, approx. 55 cm) is a friendly and balanced Schnauzer-mixed-breed male dog who, after a long stay in a Spanish animal shelter, has now finally taken the first big step toward a new life. He is currently staying in a foster home in 45899 Gelsenkirchen, waiting there to be discovered by his perfect people. Baloo is an exceptionally confident and social male dog whose gentle nature truly stands out. In his foster home, he proves to be an easygoing companion who clearly enjoys life indoors. He loves nothing more than lying on his back and soaking up lots of cuddles. He greatly enjoys his walks and behaves impeccably on the leash. Even in busy city environments, he remains calm and handles new situations with impressive composure. Since he is highly food-motivated, he finds joint training sessions immensely enjoyable—a trait that further eases his transition into a new home. After a brief trust-building phase, Baloo forms a very close bond with his humans. He wants to be involved in everything they do and thoroughly savors human companionship. Currently, he is learning at his foster home that it’s also important to occasionally hold back and wait patiently. Because closeness means so much to him, being left alone should continue to be trained gradually and kindly in his new home to prevent potential separation anxiety. So far, however, he has been making absolutely wonderful progress in this area. With other dogs, Baloo is extremely social and well-behaved. He’s a calm soul who often served as a little “therapy dog” at the animal shelter, providing reassurance to nervous fellow animals simply through his presence. Therefore, he can easily be rehomed with an existing only dog, as long as Baloo’s calm nature is respected. We are looking for a loving, quiet home for Baloo, without small children—ideally with people who will appreciate his loyal and gentle character. He is a wonderful companion who simply wants to settle in and be loved. Baloo is vaccinated, microchipped, neutered, and holds an EU pet passport. He has been dewormed, treated for fleas, and tested for Mediterranean diseases. Vaccinations: Yes Mediterranean disease check: Yes Microchip: Yes Known illnesses: None Dangerous dog classification: No Transport included Contact person: Larissa Spörl Tel: Email:.

Baloo ID-Nr: 1047229 Rasse: Mischling Alter: ca. 07/2015 Geschlecht: männlich Schulterhöhe: 55 cm Kastriert/Sterilisiert: Ja Land: Deutschland Aufenthalt / Ort: Gelsenkirchen PLZ: 45899 Anfrageformular Baloo – souveräner Rüde sucht sein endgültiges Glück Der bezaubernde Baloo (geb. ca. 07/2015, 55 cm) ist ein freundlicher und ausgeglichener Schnauzer-Mischlingsrüde, der nach einer langen Zeit im spanischen Tierheim nun endlich den ersten großen Schritt in ein neues Leben geschafft hat. Er befindet sich aktuell auf einer Pflegestelle in 45899 Gelsenkirchen und wartet dort darauf, von seinen Herzensmenschen entdeckt zu werden. Baloo ist ein sehr souveräner und sozialer Rüde, der durch sein sanftes Wesen besticht. Auf seiner Pflegestelle zeigt er sich als unkomplizierter Begleiter, der das Leben im Haus sichtlich genießt. Am liebsten legt er sich auf den Rücken und genießt ganz viele Streicheleinheiten. Er liebt seine Spaziergänge sehr und läuft dabei vorbildlich an der Leine. Selbst in der Stadt lässt er sich nicht aus der Ruhe bringen und meistert neue Situationen mit einer beeindruckenden Gelassenheit. Da er sehr futtermotiviert ist, bereitet ihm das gemeinsame Training große Freude, was die Eingewöhnung in einem neuen Zuhause zusätzlich erleichtert. Nach einer kurzen Phase des Vertrauensaufbaus bindet sich Baloo sehr eng an seine Menschen. Er möchte am liebsten überall dabei sein und genießt die menschliche Nähe in vollen Zügen. Auf seiner Pflegestelle lernt er aktuell, dass es wichtig ist, sich auch einmal zurückzunehmen und geduldig zu warten. Da ihm die Nähe so wichtig ist, sollte das Alleinebleiben im neuen Zuhause weiterhin kleinschrittig und freundlich trainiert werden, um möglichem Trennungsstress vorzubeugen. Bisher macht er hierbei jedoch wahnsinnig tolle Fortschritte. Im Umgang mit anderen Hunden ist Baloo äußerst sozial und verträglich. Er ist ein ruhiger Geist, der im Tierheim oft als kleiner „Therapiehund“ fungierte, da er unsicheren Artgenossen durch seine bloße Anwesenheit Sicherheit vermittelte. Er kann daher problemlos zu einem bereits vorhandenen Ersthund vermittelt werden, solange er Baloos ruhige Ader respektiert. Für Baloo suchen wir ein liebevolles und ruhiges Zuhause, ohne Kleinkinder, bei Menschen, die seine treue und sanfte Art zu schätzen wissen. Er ist ein wunderbarer Gefährte, der einfach nur ankommen und geliebt werden möchte. Baloo ist geimpft, gechipt, kastriert und besitzt einen EU-Heimtierausweis. Er ist entwurmt, entfloht und auf Mittelmeerkrankheiten getestet. Impfungen Ja Mittelmeercheck Ja Microchip Ja Krankheiten Keine bekannt Handicap nein Anlagehund Nein Schutzgebühr 500 € inkl.

About Baloo

What life with Baloo looks like

Baloo is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Helfende Hände e.V. in Germany.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.

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. Helfende Hände e.V. 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 — Helfende Hände e.V. 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 Helfende Hände e.V. 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 (DE). 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.
