In the shelter’s words

Meet Ballew! Ballew is a sweet 7-year-old male Poodle mix weighing in at a very portable 13 pounds. This little gentleman was found as a lost boy, and sadly, no one came forward to claim him — which is honestly their loss, because Ballew is one of a kind.And we do mean one of a kind.Ballew is a special boy, a true blonde making his way through life without a care in the world. He has that charming “Who, me?” energy and seems to float through each day on vibes, snacks, and absolutely no long-term planning. If dogs could forget why they walked into a room, Ballew would do it proudly — and still look adorable doing it.This quirky little guy has a funny gait due to hip dysplasia, but don’t worry — it’s being managed well with supplements, and he doesn’t let it slow down his spirit. He may not have the runway walk of a show poodle, but he has perfected his own signature strut. Think less “Westminster champion” and more “tiny enchanted mop on a mission.”Ballew is currently learning how to walk on a leash, and he will need help with his potty training. He’s not perfect — but really, who among us is? What he is is gentle, sweet, lovable, and full of personality. With patience, consistency, and a sense of humor, Ballew will make a wonderful little companion.This boy needs an equally quirky owner — someone who appreciates a dog with character, a unique walk, a soft heart, and perhaps just a few missing brain cells that have been replaced entirely with charm.Ballew is looking for a safe, loving forever home where he can feel secure, cherished, and truly belong. If you’re searching for a sweet little companion who will keep you smiling, make you laugh daily, and remind you not to take life too seriously, Ballew may be your perfect match.❤️ Come meet Ballew and give this deserving, delightfully goofy boy the second chance he’s been waiting for.Adoption fee: $300~~If you are interested in this animal, you can complete the questionnaire found on the available pets page of our website http://hbpr.org.
