About Balto

Meet Balto, a charming 9-year-old Siberian Husky looking for a loving home to enjoy his golden years. He was surrendered due to his owner's medical condition, and he's ready for a fresh start with a family that understands his unique needs. Though Balto experiences anxiety and has used medication to manage it, he is potty trained and has a bit of a picky palate. His favorite snacks include peanut butter, dog cookies, string cheese, and lunch meat, and a sprinkle of cheese on his food can help encourage him to eat. Balto loves squeaky, non-stuffed toys, which keep him entertained. Regular grooming is essential due to his thick coat, especially during the summer to help him stay comfortable. While he has never lived with other dogs or cats, he is reported to get along well with dogs. Balto deserves a patient home where he can receive the care, comfort, and routine he needs to thrive.
