Major lovebug seeks forever family to adore
If youāre looking for a new family member who will be your loyal and loving companion and be your best forever friend, Bahlo is your man. He is one of the loveliest dogs his foster family has ever met - very affectionate and gentle. Bahlo wonāt leave your side. Where you go, he goes. If youāre working from home, he will curl up and sleep by your side. If youāre watching a movie or sitting around, heāll be your giant lapdog.
Bahlo is a three year old Great Dane mix and he is amazingly gentle despite his large size . In his pre-rescue life, Bahlo was a cherished family pet and it shows because he is kind and gentle with children and adults alike. However, he is a big dog and might accidentally bump in to smaller children or get underfoot, so itās best he goes to a family that is used to very large dogs or where there arenāt any frail or elderly family members.
Earlier in his life, Bahlo used to live with another dog, so heād love a doggy sibling in his forever home (though a gentle introduction would be needed as his size and awkward body language can scare other dogs). He is interested in the cat at his foster home and has learnt not to chase. With time and patience he *may* be ok with a cat.
He has (mostly) excellent manners and is so keen to please that he will likely be very easy to train.
ā¢ He is toiled trained
ā¢ He sleeps on his bed all night from about 10pm (when he puts himself to bed) until about 7 when his foster mum gets up.
ā¢ He doesnāt lick and has only jumped a couple of times while at his foster home.
ā¢ He is very responsive to positive reinforcement and isnāt stubborn - if you tell him to stop doing something, he generally doesnāt
ā¢ He doesnāt love baths but he will politely tolerate them.
ā¢ He walks well on a Halti lead but will pull if he sees something interesting.
There are a few things to be aware of:
ā¢ Bahlo is a major lovebug. He gets lonely when left alone and will be best suited to a household where someone will be home for the majority of the time.
ā¢ While heās definitely getting better at staying home alone, he may bark or scratch and the door if he gets anxious or left for a long time.
ā¢ Whenever he is near a parked car, he will try to jump on to the car. Itās weird but worth being aware of as he might scratch the paint.
Bahlo will go to a home where he is part of the family and can sleep inside.
If you can handle the love and adoration of a giant, sweet and gentle dog, make sure you apply for Bahlo! Heās one in a million.
