Balto

Balto is a 10-month-old Labrador-pit bull mix who is very sweet. He is house trained and has lived with small children.

Bonus: Balto understands English and Spanish.

He loves to play with other dogs, but he does play rough so he needs to meet your dogs before going home.

Balto is neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated. He is at the El Dorado County Animal Services shelter in Meyers, along with many other dogs and cats who are waiting for their new homes. Go online to see photos and description of all pets at the shelter.

Call (530) 573.7925 for directions, hours, and other information on adopting a pet.
