Balu is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Fellnasen Stuttgart e.V. in Stuttgart.
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.
