🐶 Animal Shelter Spotlight 🐱

Come Meet Baloo!

My name is Baloo, just like the lovable bear from The Jungle Book! I'm a playful pup at about a year old and weigh around 40lbs. While I might not know my exact mix, I definitely have some lab and pitty vibes going on! I've got medium energy levels, which means I enjoy those cozy chill moments but also adore exploring new places and having fun with my favorite toys. If you're looking for a furry friend who's eager to share love and joy, come meet me! I'm ready for my forever home where we can embark on endless adventures together.

 

To meet Baloo and his companions visit the

Rowlett Animal Shelter at 4402 Industrial St.

Tuesday through Saturday (10am - 5pm)
