Balto is a 5 year old male Akita mix and an absolutely stunning boy. His gorgeous, fluffy coat practically glows in the sunshine - and it’s so comforting to pet his super-soft fur! He walks well on a leash and almost prances while out and about … yes, he definitely knows that he’s handsome! Balto enjoys going on walks and likes running along the fence line with other dogs in adjacent play areas. Most of all, he truly loves spending time with his human friends and is happy to do whatever you have in mind, whether that’s a neighborhood stroll or curling up on the couch for movie night. While Balto adores people, he has been dog-selective at the shelter, so a Meet and Greet would be needed if other dogs live in your home. But don’t worry - Balto has a big heart and more than enough love to give all on his own. Come meet this sweet boy soon, and give Balto the loving home he deserves!

The adoption fee covers the following: spay or neuter surgery; one-year rabies vaccine; feline or canine distemper vaccine; heartworm test (dogs) or combo (fiv/felv) test (cats); deworming; and microchip.
