My story

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


Balder is around 8 years old and was rescued from Alexandria Welfare League around 6 years ago. He is a cuddle bug and wants so much to be loved. He is a very active dog despite his age and loves to play fetch, go on walks, and chew up dog toys. I am very sad to give him away because he is my family. However, I have two small children and am unable to give him the attention he needs. Without sufficient attention, he will destroy things, like his dog beds, stuffed animals, anything wooden, rugs, etc. He is a good boy IF he is kept active. He is a high needs dog. Before children, I had a lot of fun taking Balder on hikes and running him ragged. But now, he deserves more than what I can give him. If you are a loving person who can be physically active throughout the day, then Balder would be good company for you.
