Baloo

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 6 years

Born: December 2020, neutered, microchipped, vaccinated The kind, intelligent, and very people-oriented Baloo is a true dream dog and loyal companion. He has a big, loving heart, is a faithful soul, and possesses a gentle nature. Behind his imposing exterior lies a sensitive, touching character. Baloo is clever, finely tuned, and very intelligent. He adapts to new rules and situations quickly, looks his person in the eye, tries to understand what is expected of him, and always makes an effort to do everything right. He knows basic commands and some fun tricks: – When given the command “Jump!”, he happily jumps like a young puppy, just to please his person. – If you put your finger to your lips and softly say “quiet,” he barks very softly, almost in a whisper – he really tries to be as gentle as possible. Initially, he is cautious with strangers – for good reason. But once he is given a little time, he opens his heart and shows clingy, playful, and loving behavior. If necessary, he can display protective behavior. But if the family does not want that, he readily accepts the rules and needs of his family. With Baloo, it is always reliable and safe – even late at night during a walk in the park, on the streets, or on field paths. Baloo is very people-oriented. He needs proximity, eye contact, a gentle voice, and a stroking hand. He builds a deep emotional bond – so strong that you can communicate with him without words. He looks attentively into the eyes and immediately senses the mood of his person. With other dogs, he gets along well, usually preferring female dogs to male dogs. On the leash, he runs excellently. At home, he is quiet, clean, and reliable: he destroys nothing, causes no stress, and remains calm when left alone. Outdoors, he reliably does his business. Baloo has seen a lot. And yet, he carries a lot of warmth, trust, and love within him. He longs more than anything to finally find his person – someone he can completely trust. Baloo is not just looking for a home. He is looking for his person. Maybe you are exactly that person. We are searching for a family for Baloo that is ready to give him time, attention, and love. In return, you get one of the most loyal and loving companions. This teddy bear will bring a lot of warmth and love into your home.

Geboren: Dezember 2020 Kastriert, gechippt, geimpft Der gutmütiger, intelligenter und sehr menschenbezogener Baloo ist ein wahrer Traumhund und treuer Begleiter. Er hat ein großes, liebevolles Herz, ist eine treue Seele und besitzt ein sanftes Wesen. Hinter seinem imposanten Äußeren verbirgt sich ein sensibler, berührender Charakter. Baloo ist klug, feinfühlig und sehr intelligent. Er passt sich neuen Regeln und Situationen schnell an, schaut seinem Menschen in die Augen, versucht zu verstehen, was von ihm erwartet wird, und gibt sich stets Mühe, alles richtig zu machen. Er kennt Grundkommandos und einige lustige Tricks: – Auf das Kommando „Sprung!“ hüpft er freudig wie ein junger Hund, nur um seinem Menschen zu gefallen. – Wenn man den Finger an die Lippen legt und sanft „leise“ sagt, bellt er ganz leise, fast wie im Flüsterton – er bemüht sich wirklich, so sanft wie möglich zu sein. Fremden gegenüber ist er anfangs vorsichtig – aus gutem Grund. Doch sobald man ihm ein wenig Zeit schenkt, öffnet er sein Herz und zeigt sich anhänglich, verspielt und liebevoll. Wenn es nötig ist, kann er Schutzverhalten zeigen. Aber wenn die Familie das nicht möchte, akzeptiert er problemlos die Regeln und Bedürfnisse seiner Familie. Mit Baloo ist es in jedem Fall zuverlässig und sicher – selbst spät abends beim Spaziergang im Park, auf den Straßen oder auf Feldwegen. Baloo ist sehr menschenbezogen. Er braucht Nähe, Blickkontakt, eine sanfte Stimme und eine streichelnde Hand. Er baut eine tiefe emotionale Bindung auf – so stark, dass man mit ihm auch ohne Worte kommunizieren kann. Er schaut aufmerksam in die Augen und spürt sofort die Stimmung seines Menschen. Mit anderen Hunden kommt er gut zurecht, Hündinnen mag er meist lieber als Rüden. An der Leine läuft er hervorragend. Zuhause ist er ruhig, sauber und zuverlässig: er zerstört nichts, macht keinen Stress und bleibt entspannt, wenn er einmal allein bleiben muss. Draußen erledigt er zuverlässig sein Geschäft. Baloo hat viel erlebt. Und trotzdem trägt er viel Wärme, Vertrauen und Liebe in sich. Er wünscht sich nichts sehnlicher, als endlich seinen Menschen zu finden – jemanden, dem er sich ganz anvertrauen kann. Baloo sucht nicht einfach ein Zuhause. Er sucht seinen Menschen. Vielleicht sind Sie genau dieser Mensch. Wir suchen für Baloo eine Familie, die bereit ist, ihm Zeit, Aufmerksamkeit und Liebe zu schenken. Im Gegenzug bekommen Sie einen der treuesten und liebevollsten Begleiter. Dieser Teddybär wird viel Wärme und Liebe in euer Zuhause bringen.

About Baloo

What life with Baloo looks like

Baloo is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Russische Tiere in Not e.V. in Gladbeck.

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. Tierschutzverein Russische Tiere in Not 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 — Tierschutzverein Russische Tiere in Not 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 Tierschutzverein Russische Tiere in Not 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.
