Baloo - American Staffordshire Terrier Dog for Adoption in Park Forest, Illinois

Hi, I’m Baloo!

DOB: 6/2/26
Breed: American Staffordshire Terrier Mix (best guess)
Weight: 7.7 lbs as of 9/23/26
Vaccines: UTD, including rabies
Microchipped: Yes
Heartworm Prevention: Yes
Neuter: 6–8 months per adoption contract
Potty Training: Doing great!

I may be the smallest of my litter, but I’m definitely small and mighty! I’m playful, independent, and always ready for some fun. I can keep up with the bigger dogs and was even the first of my siblings to figure out how to jump on the couch! When playtime is over, I’m a total cuddle bug who loves being held, petted, and snuggled.

My siblings and I had a rough start and eventually ended up on a shelter euthanasia list. Forever Kuddles Fosters was able to save eight of us, and now I’m ready for a family of my own.

Think this small but mighty boy could be your new best friend? Apply to adopt me!

Breed is our vet’s best guess, as we do not know the parents.
