About Balto

Meet Balto, a fawn-colored boy with a big heart. Weighing in at about 30 lbs, he embodies the spirit of a baby deer—nervous yet incredibly endearing. It’s been a journey for Balto, who seemed to have had little exposure to kind humans, but he's slowly blossoming in his foster home. After months of care, he’s learning to trust people and is starting to enjoy affection. His playful spirit shines through when he wrestles with his small and medium foster siblings. Balto requires a home with a fenced yard as he’s still a flight risk; supervision outside is essential. Ideally, he'll thrive with a social dog who can help him feel secure as he navigates his new surroundings. Besides his charming personality, Balto is neutered, up-to-date on vaccines, and even microchipped with lifetime registration. Potty and crate trained, he walks well on a leash but still needs continued training for commands and recall. Would you be the patient and loving family Balto is waiting for?
