Meet Balto! ❤️ This handsome, nearly 9-year-old boy has been through a lot. After living in three different homes over the past year and ending up at a local shelter, he's finally getting a fresh start with Arctic Rescue! Balto is SUCH a good boy! He's incredibly sweet, affectionate, and playful. He loves splashing around in water, relaxing in the A/C, enjoying a comfy bed, and eating a good meal! His foster says he's been absolutely wonderful. Balto is house trained, crate trained, and great with other dogs! His foster thinks he could do well with just about any canine companion. He's also reportedly done well around chickens, though supervision around small animals is important. At nearly 9 years old, Balto deserves a family who will give him the stability, patience, and love he's been missing. This sweet boy has so much love left to give, and we hope his next home will be his forever home. Apply to adopt Balto at https://arcticrescue.org/adopt.
