BaltoHi! I’m Balto, a two-year-old Husky mix with a big heart and a small frame— I’m only about 33 pounds, but don’t let my size fool you. I’ve got enough love and playful energy to light up a whole house!My story’s a bit of a tough one. My previous owner lost his job and home, and even though it broke his heart, he had to let me go. Thankfully, a kind family took me in to foster me and help me find my forever home. They say I’m the sweetest guy—and honestly, I just want to make people smile.
