BALSA hails from Wasagamack and came down south with his brother to find his forever family. He’s had his first vaccine, he’s microchipped and been deemed healthy by the vet and ready to find his family. There’s no knowledge on his parents as he was found without either of them so we’re not certain about his breed or the size he will actually grow to be. 
BALSA is a super sweet natured boy who came into rescue as a shut down submissive and scared little puppy. Fast forward to today and he’s a thriving happy little guy who’s helping to nurture the younger foster puppies in the home. He’s well socialized with dogs and even lives with a cat that he’s become friends with. Children aged 6 and up for our puppies and they should be gentle and considerate towards animals. A fenced yard is required to help keep me safe. 

BALSA sleeps quietly through the night in a covered crate and will also go in it during the day for a nap. He now knows it’s his safe place to go or just a place to chill out. Housetraining is a work in progress due to his young age but he’s constantly taken outside and he seems to understand that’s the time to use the bathroom. He loves going on pack walks and is doing well with the leash walking. He has lots of puppy energy so he would love his family to be active and take him on lots of walks, hikes and adventures. He’s only been in a vehicle a few times but he did travel well in it. He loves to play with toys of all kinds and will run around and happily amuse himself with them. 

We need his family to be committed to get him the obedience training he needs to help him be the best boy he can be. Ideally someone would be home most of the day to continue his housetraining and continue with his socialization skills. His neuter is included in his adoption fee and will be performed by the time he’s 6 months of age and we need you to be in agreement with this as part of his adoption agreement. 
BALSA would love to be the snuggle bug in your home so if you think he sounds like your type of guy then please fill out the adoption application to meet him.
