Balto's Story
If you're a dog lover, you're probably familiar with the classic tale of Balto, especially the movie. Well, now you can have your own Balto to love! We believe this gorgeous pup is a shepherd mix. He came to us from our partner rescue in Virginia, and we are loving getting to know him! He's about 35 lbs and only about a year old, so he will be able to love you for years to come! The only thing he asks in return is a little patience and understanding as he acclimates to his new loving home. Balto is a bit shy when meeting new people and dogs, but it doesn't take long for him to warm up! All you need is a fun toy, or some treats, and this handsome boy will be your new BFF and give you lots of kisses! He was a little nervous of the cats in the shelter down south, but we think he'd be happy with a feline friend if introduced properly. As for kids, young children may make him a little nervous, but older kids who know to take their time with him would be a better fit. Balto is such a great dog, you'll fall in love with this sweet boy as soon as you meet him! Fill out an adoption questionnaire at www.fatherjohns.org/adopt. You'll get an email which you can reply to in order to make an appointment, or stop by from 11am - 3pm Thurs - Tues (the only day we are closed is Wednesday). *Balto is not yet neutered but is still available to be seen and adopted. His adoption fee covers his neuter, which is TBD. Our kennel team will be happy to answer any questions, or give us a call at 973-300-5909
