Balto's Story

Always dreamed of adopting a fawn? Meet Balto: the most tender and intelligent 30lb boy ever. He's like a baby deer because he is a nervous boy at heart, but once you earn his trust, it's a magical feeling. Balto is looking for a patient and dedicated forever home that can achieve just that! His rescuers believe he was raised without a clue that kind humans existed, or perhaps no human interaction at all. But after months of healing in his foster home, Balto is coming out of his fluffy shell! He's an athletic (but sometimes clumsy) little guy who loves to chase and wrestle with his small and medium foster siblings. He's quite expressive with his eyes and body language, and he can be vocal when he feels lonely. He doesn't seek pets on his own yet but is starting to enjoy them. His foster mom is amazed by his progress and knows he deserves to become someone's true forever family member. Balto is so excited to meet you and see if you agree!<br/><br/>FENCED YARD REQUIRED. Because of Balto's past, he is still a flight risk. Pending your type of fence and environment, he may always need to be supervised outside and on a leash regardless. <br/><br/>Homes with another social dog are highly preferred! His foster dog siblings have taught him how to feel safe in all environments, and he will likely need to continue learning for a while (especially in a new home). <br/><br/>More about Balto:<br/>-Estimated birthday is February 21, 2025<br/>-Neutered<br/>-Up-to-date on vaccines<br/>-Heart worm negative<br/>-Up-to-date on flea, tick, and heart worm prevention<br/>-Dewormed<br/>-Microchipped (comes with free lifetime registration)<br/>-Licensed in Allen county (fee is covered and transferable to locals)<br/>-Potty trained<br/>-Crate trained (it's his safe space!)<br/>-Will benefit from continued training, such as recall and basic commands.<br/>-Walks well on a leash, slip lead, and/or harness. He is a *flight risk* so multiple points of contact are a must. <br/>-Tolerates baths, nail trims, and being brushed. <br/><br/>To apply to adopt me and meet me in my foster home, use the Google Form link below!<br/>https://forms.gle/z3dSZZaT9spjEhpu7
