My story

Balto is my parents dog. My mom passed way last year, my father passed away in March. Balto has lived with me ever since. He’s a good dog, loves other animals, loves kids, loves to play. I have 3 dogs of my own so a fourth dog in my small house is a bit overwhelming. I’m looking for a home for Balto where he gets more attention. He loves all people and is particularly fond of men. He’s maybe 10 or even a bit older, really don’t know. He’s just had his teeth cleaned last year. Negatives- barks so he wears a bark collar. -can’t do a full staircase (my parents didn’t have any), he can handle small staircase like a porch, usually he just jumps them. -needs a harness to walk constantly chokes himself in a collar. Positives- happy fun little dog, loves toys, pets, and attention. Great with other pets such as dogs and cats. I’d rather just keep him if I can’t find the right fit as he was my parents dog. But I thought I’d check and see if I can find him a better life.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Balto, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
