Meet Balt! 🌟 This young boy is ready to find his happily ever after! With a blend of Border Collie and Lab, he is an adorable 1-year-old pup (as of February 2026) weighing in at around 39 lbs. This sweet boy's mission? To trot through life filled with love, adventure, and the confidence of a well-loved family pet! 🐾 Imagine taking Balt on sniffy walks through parks or having cozy cuddle sessions at home. But, here’s the deal: Balt is a little shy and will thrive best in a nurturing environment with a welcoming resident dog to help him learn the ropes. He's like that friend who takes a little longer to warm up but once he does, the love is everlasting! 💕 He’s great with other dogs, and while he hasn’t had a chance to meet any kids or cats yet, don't worry! With the right humans, he’s more than ready to discover all the joys this world has to offer. Just think of the adventures waiting to unfold! 🌈 Currently, Balt is staying at a shelter in South Carolina, dreaming of his new life in the DC area. To get him up to the bright lights and new beginnings, he urgently needs a foster or forever home! 🏠 Balt doesn’t ask for much—just patience, lots of love, and someone to guide him through this big, exciting world. And let’s not forget—he promises to return the favor with endless love and loyalty! 😍 Are you the one Balt has been waiting for? To bring this precious pup home, you must apply through the Buddy App! Lucky Dog can't guarantee housebroken status as all dogs are working on crate training, but with your help, Balt is ready to learn and grow. Let's get him to a safe and loving home! 🐶
