Balto, a 4-year-old male Bernese Mountain Dog mix, has seen more heartache than most. After losing his only owners in a tragic plane crash, he’s found himself without the home he loved. At just over 60 lbs, Balto brings a strong presence and a big, energetic personality. He’s worked with a professional trainer and walks well on leash, though he’s sensitive to being tugged and may yelp if pulled too hard. Balto really thrives outdoors with plenty of space; he shows no interest in escaping a fenced yard and prefers an active lifestyle where he can move around freely. He’s not suited to indoor living, but in the right situation, with someone who understands his needs and respects his boundaries, he has the makings of a loyal companion. Balto needs a home ready to help him heal and move forward from his trauma. Give this big-hearted dog a real chance at happiness again. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
