About Balto

Balto is a one-year-old male Husky and German Shepherd mix currently weighing about 65 lbs. He was surrendered due to his habit of escaping fences, but he's proven to be a wonderful companion. Known for his gentle and loving nature, Balto is fantastic with children, male and female dogs, and even cats. He is house trained, which makes him an easy addition to any home. After being neutered, we expect his desire to roam might be reduced, as he already shows awareness of his size during playtime. Balto loves giving kisses and enjoys zoomies in the yard while avoiding collision with others. This dog is currently in the care of the Humane Society of Elmore County in Wetumpka, AL. Adopt Balto today and find your new best friend!
