My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

This is Balto, one of Lulu's 10 puppies that were all saved from a SD Reservation. All dogs and puppies require supervision and training.

Balto was adopted as a puppy and returned as an adult due to family changes. 

Hi I'm Balto and I am looking for my forever home. I'm from a litter of 10 puppies and we all found our forever homes until mine didn't have time for a 'dog' anymore. So I ended up back at the rescue where I started. I'm in a foster home now and lucky to be with one of my sisters from my litter and I have a foster brother who is a Chihuahua mix and a foster sister who is younger and I ler her think she is the boss. I get along with all of them and love playing with my sisters but I am selective with all the animals in the home at times, so I would need to be an only pet in the home so I can have all of your attention. I can socialize outside the home with other dogs, I just don't like to share when I'm in my own place. I do love going to the dog park with all my friends.

I have lots of puppy energy so I need a family that will help me learn and grow. I do know your basic commands sit, stay, lay, shake, down and no. I like playing with toys, stuffies, chew bones, balls playing tug with my sister & fetch with my foster parents. I do destroy stuffies so we might want to wait on them until I'm older or if you don't mind picking up my mess I can have them. 

I love playing outside with my sisters (fenced in yard) and going for walks with the whole family. I have lots of energy to burn so I need to stay busy so I don't do any naughty things when I'm bored. (Chew toys are a must)

I take naps after a good play or walk and I love to snuggle with my human and sometimes I think I'm a lap dog. I'm a good eater, drink lots of water and treats are good too but make me work for them so I don't forget my training. My foster parents tell me I'm a good boy when getting my treats & boy do I like that.

I also like to relax and just sit in the yard / deck and watch the squirrels and birds. I'm okay by myself but would prefer my human to relax with me(snuggles). I also love to hold your hand with my paw when we're just chilling.

I do great in the car and love going for rides and watching out the window. I'm good with meeting new people, I love the attention and I sit for kids and let them give me all the pets and belly rubs they want. When we go for our walks I do good when passing other people and dogs unless they want to meet me, then I sit and get all the pets I can. When at home I do get jealous if my foster brother or sister are getting attention so I like to push my way in and get the attention for myself I'm working on that. I'm also working on sharing toys and chew bones with my foster siblings, I like to have them all to myself but my foster parents tell me I am getting better at sharing them, I just need to be reminded at times. I'm still a young boy learning.

We have cats in my foster home but I don't know how to react/play with them, I  just get so excited that I scare them; so at this time I cannot be around the cats. My foster parents think when I'm older I could maybe have a cat sibling.

So at this time I am good with kids, a fenced in yard and no dogs in the home (play dates are fine) and no cats.
So if you think you are my forever home and family and will continue to work with me let's meet. I'm ready for my forever family. 

Balto is fully potty trained and will go to the door and bark/whine when he needs to go out.
He also sleeps through the night anywhere from 8-12 hours depending on how much exercise he had the day before. He loves to sleep with his humans but will sleep on the floor, couch or dog bed if preferred.

Additional adoption info

We ultimately want to approve everyone. But unfortunately, that is not reality and not what is best for the pet nor for the humans involved. We strive to put the pets into the very best fit for a home they can get.
