LAKEPORT, Calif. – Looking for a handsome, furry friend suited for fun in the outdoors?
Then, meet “Balto.”
Balto is a male husky-Alaskan Malamute mix at Lake County Animal Care and Control who is hoping someone will come and sweep him away to a new home.
He's a very sweet and personable dog. He greets visitors with good manners and even a kiss.
Balto is very handsome with his brown eyes and soft, gray and white coat.
The shelter's evaluator said he has no food aggression and gets along well when introduced to other dogs his size.
He knows basic commands and walks well on a leash.
Balto is in kennel No. 13, ID No. 4310. He'd love a visit and a new home.
