Balık

🐾 Foster Home Needed for Balık – Netherlands 🐾

Meet Balık, an 8-year-old neutered male mixed-breed with a calm, gentle nature and a heart full of love. He was rescued from the municipal shelter in Mersin, Türkiye, after being found seriously ill and lying helpless in the shelter. Thanks to proper care and treatment, Balık has recovered from severe anemia and is now stable and doing well.

Balık is friendly with people and gets along well with other dogs. His relationship with cats is currently unknown. He is social, affectionate, and truly enjoys human attention—he loves being close to people and receiving affection.

He walks nicely on a leash, can climb stairs, and travels comfortably by car. His activity level is moderate, making him a wonderful companion for relaxed walks and quiet home life. Balık does not have vocal cords, which makes him an especially quiet and peaceful companion.

Due to his medical history of anemia, Balık only needs regular health check-ups to ensure he continues to do well. He does not require any special medication or diet at this time.

📍 Currently located: Istanbul (boarding kennel)
✈️ Available to travel to the Netherlands from: 10 January 2026

We are looking for a kind, patient foster home in the Netherlands where Balık can continue his recovery and enjoy the comfort of a home environment while he prepares for his forever family. A foster home would give this gentle senior the safety and love he truly deserves.

If you can offer Balık a temporary home filled with compassion and care, you will be making a life-changing difference. 💛🐶
