Black Labrador Retriever Dogs Available for Adoption in Merritt Island, Florida

Balloo Came to us from a high kill shelter in the eastern part of the state. We saw his face and his demeanor and couldn't say no, even though we were already full.

Balloo is 5 months old based on his teeth. Despite his ear size, don't confuse him with dumbo! He is a black lab mix.

Poor Balloo had a rough start to life- he has many healing cuts on his body and notches taken out of both ears that appear to have been done deliberately by a person. Despite this, he is the sweetest guy that just wants to be curled up next to you on the couch. He loves his walks and meeting new people. He is incredibly gentle and has a very quiet way about him for a puppy.

He is getting neutered on Tuesday, 28 April and will be ready to go home as soon as he is neutered!
