Bali - Shepherd Dog for Adoption in Belleville, Illinois

Bali is a 1 year old Shepherd mix with a big frame, an even bigger heart, and absolutely no idea how large she is. She has the sweetest personality, walks surprisingly well on a leash, and has mastered the art of handing out paws... even when nobody asked. If you're standing nearby, chances are you'll end up with a paw politely placed in your hand.

Bali is wonderful with other dogs and does amazing with small kids, making her a fantastic family companion. She's gentle, affectionate, and always eager to make new friends. Beneath her big-dog size is a soft-hearted girl who just wants to share her love, one unsolicited paw shake at a time.
