Balto's Story

Balto is a 4 year old male Bernese Mountain dog mix. He weighs a little over 60 lbs. Balto has quite a sad story to tell, his owners were both killed in a plane crash. Balto is a good dog is a bundle of energy, and a good dog. He has worked with a hired professional trainer. Balto is good on a leash but doesn't like to be pulled, he will yelp if hard. He has had only one owner and doesn't need to be in a rescue but in a loving home. Balto does extremely well in a fenced back yard, he does not try to escape. Won't you have a heart to give Balto a forever home, poor guy has been through so much trauma.

Pyrenees Rescue of Western NC's Adoption Policy

Why A Rescue? The very characteristics that make this wonderful breed so desirable to many, can make them vulnerable to neglect or eventual surrender in the homes of those who are unprepared for the responsibilities with raising a dog with specific needs to accommodate their size, need for space, secure boundaries, and maintenance of the beautiful heavy coat. Sometimes, the family circumstances change, relocations happen, and a new home must be found. Often, the story is more tragic. Backyard breeders abound, and puppy mill rescues are brought here to find forever homes. Because the ultimate goal is to find families for the rescues, they are handled, loved, and groomed daily, socialized with the rescue volunteers and each other, so that they will be well-tempered. Occasionally, due to behavior problems related to previous abuse or fear, or advanced age or special health needs, a dog will be considered un-adoptable. Those dogs are guaranteed a home here at the rescue. We are listed with Guidestar. https://www.guidestar.org/profile/47-4410637
