Balto is a 7-year-old Australian Shepherd who has been waiting patiently at the shelter for 10 months, hoping his forever family will walk through the door. At 64 pounds, he’s the perfect mix of cuddle buddy and walking partner.
Balto is house-trained and knows how to sit, shake, and lie down. He loves car rides and is a curious explorer on walks, always taking in the world around him. He’s smart, eager to please, and loyal to the people he trusts.
Balto would do best in a home without cats or small children. He can be selective with other dogs, so slow introductions or a solo-pet lifestyle may be best.
If you’re looking for a smart, devoted companion who’s ready to ride shotgun on life’s adventures, Balto might be your perfect match. Come meet him today!
