Additional Notes: Balto arrived at SSH on 10/23/2025. He was very sickly. His owner passed away and the surviving family put him out on the streets to fend for himself. He never left the general area of his home until it was time to be rescued.
Fast forward a few weeks and here we are. Balto is putting on weight, been groomed, fixed, vaccinated and microchipped. He's great with kids and will selflessly play dress-up. He's also great with other dogs, both big and small.
We're looking for a home for Balto that has a large backyard or space where he can run and play with another dog in the home. A child who would love on him would be a bonus! Balto is currently working on some car ride anxiety and has a training plan in place for prospective applicants but otherwise he's a 10/10 perfect boy!

Additional adoption info
Our adoption process all starts with the application. Most have a pet in mind already but not always. We'll then schedule a time for you to meet the pet. From there we conduct a home visit and meet all members of the household and all other pets. We want to make sure all pets show potential to get along with the new pet. Should all go well, you'll sign the final adoption agreement, pay the adoption fee, and take home your new buddy!
