About this Dog
Hi! My name is Balsam and I am an 18-month-old, 65 lb neutered male. I am already housetrained. I do well gated in the kitchen when left home alone at my foster home. I am not a fan of crates so crate-training is a work in progress. I am very affectionate with my trusted people and my foster mom described me as a Velcro Dog as I’m always near her relaxing or asking for snuggles! I have anxiety with new people: I will bark at them and take time to warm up. I need a family who will continue working with me to gain confidence around new people and can understand my body language to help push me appropriately without overdoing it. I have done well with other dogs and would do best in a home with confident, calm canine sibling who can help guide me. I prefer my canine friends not be super excitable or “in-your-face” kind of dogs, I find them annoying and will correct them then try to remove myself. I am still figuring out what these things called toys are for, though I enjoy carrying them around! I have been living with cats in foster and am doing great with them, so feline siblings are also okay with me! My foster mom has been working hard to teach me my basic commands and I now know: sit, down, leave it, drop it, and wait (at doors). I like joining for car rides and I walk well on leash in low-distraction environments. My recall is also coming along nicely. I am an intelligent, active boy who is ready to find my perfect adoptive family to continue working with me on training and socialization. Are you my family?

Transportation for the adopted dog IS available. Remember, we are an all-volunteer foster rescue organization - we DO NOT have a physical shelter to visit. Our minimum adoption donation is $350. All dogs are spayed/neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations and micro-chipped. Puppies under 6 months old may not be spayed/neutered. This would be the responsibility of the adopter at their own expense. Proof of spay/neuter will be required!

Adopt Balsam and Receive Dogecoin
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Balsam's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised. Dogecoin is digital currency that can be exchanged for cash, traded, or held as an investment (see the "What is Dogecoin" section below).
0.0 DOGE is Balsam's current Dogecoin balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the Dogecoin. If you adopted the Balsam, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Balsam's Dogecoin here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the Dogecoin by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the Dogecoin. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Balsam was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Balsam’s Dogecoin balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
"The fun and friendly internet currency."
Dogecoin sets itself apart from other digital currencies with an amazing, vibrant community made up of friendly folks just like you. Dogecoin is a decentralized, peer-to-peer digital currency that enables you to easily send money online.
Learn more about it on youtube or at dogecoin.com.
We want the Balsam’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Balsam’s balance will remain in our general Dogecoin fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
