Balto is a 3‑year‑old Shih Tzu mix who is gentle, sweet, and a little on the shy side, the kind of dog who quietly wins your heart with his soft presence. He originally lived with his two buddies, Zuzu and Cacheton, before their owner had to move out of state and couldn’t take them along, so he’s used to companionship and a peaceful home routine. Balto is easy to care for, adorable to look at, and even sweeter to love. Once he feels safe, he blossoms into a tender, affectionate little companion who enjoys calm moments and gentle attention. He’s now looking for a loving home in the Greater Los Angeles area where he can feel secure and cherished again.
