Balto's Story

Meet Balto!<br/><br/>Balto is a 5-month-old, 20-pound puppy with a big personality, an even bigger sense of curiosity, and plenty of love to give. He’s playful, energetic, affectionate, and incredibly people-oriented — the kind of puppy who wants to be right in the middle of whatever is going on.<br/><br/>He loves getting outside and would be a great match for someone looking for a future walking, hiking, and adventure buddy. Balto already walks beautifully on leash and happily joins his foster for longer outings, taking in the world with typical puppy enthusiasm. He has a moderate-to-high energy level, so he’ll be happiest with someone who enjoys staying active and wants a dog who can keep up.<br/><br/>Balto is also proving to be a very smart little guy. He already knows “sit,” is extremely treat-motivated, and picks up new things quickly, which makes training both fun and rewarding. He’s currently teething, so chew toys and bones are very important business in his world.<br/><br/>At home, Balto is crate trained and does wonderfully when left alone, settling without crying. He gets excited when guests arrive and loves having people around, but he’s also learning how to balance all that puppy enthusiasm with downtime.<br/><br/>Balto enjoys playing with his foster’s resident dog and can do well with other dogs once he has a chance to get comfortable. He may be a little unsure around larger dogs at first, but with a proper introduction he settles in and shows his friendly, playful side. He could be happy as an only dog or with a canine companion.<br/><br/>He can absolutely thrive in an apartment as long as he gets the exercise, enrichment, and continued training every young puppy needs. Balto is affectionate, eager to learn, adventurous, and full of potential. He’s looking for someone excited to keep showing him the world and help this already wonderful puppy grow into an equally wonderful adult dog.<br/><br/><br/>INTERESTED IN ADOPTING?<br/>To adopt Balto, apply on our website www.truenorthrescue.org/adopt and email adopt@truenorthrescue.org to follow up on your application.<br/><br/>PLEASE DO NOT EMAIL TO ASK IF HE/SHE IS AVAILABLE. IF THIS LISTING IS UP, THE DOG IS NOT ADOPTED YET.<br/><br/>Also, we have a very high volume of applications and we are all volunteers. We cannot respond to every application personally. Please make sure your application gives us a good picture of your family and the life you plan on providing a dog from our rescue. We choose a home based on the BEST FIT for EACH dog and approve on a dog by dog basis. Thank you!

True North Pet Rescue Mission's Adoption Policy
First Step: Submit Your Application True North does not issue blanket approvals, we consider the needs of each specific dog when reviewing applications. If you don't have a specific dog in mind when applying, please note this on your application so that we can keep this in mind when reviewing. We require home photos for all applicants, but can accept a video replacement. Please enter as much detail as possible on your application, this helps us better understand what you are looking for and how this relates to the needs of the dog you have applied for. For puppies under 12 weeks, we require a care plan. This includes a plan for when the dog will be left alone, as puppies younger than 12 weeks should not be left alone longer than 2-3 hours at a time. Please Note: Due to the high volume of applications we receive, it is not always possible to reply to everyone. If your application is approved, you can expect the following. Second Step: Application Review & Approval 1. If your application is approved, an email will be sent connecting you with the dog's current foster. At this time, you may schedule a mutually convenient time to meet. 2. After meeting, you have 24 hours to confirm if you would like to move forward with finalizing the adoption. After this, if we have not heard from you, we will begin scheduling other meets. 3. If you choose to finalize, we will issue an adoption contract via email. Once the signed agreement has been electronically returned along with the adoption fee (which will be disclosed prior to adopting), you will be all set to coordinate for pick-up with the foster! Adoption Fees: Our adoption fees are comparable to those found amongst other well-known rescues in the city. We only accept electronic payments for adoption fees.
