Balto tore his ACL.  His owners did not want to pay for it. Their local vet called rescue to try to save him. Balto does not have an aggressive bone in his body.  He can get over stimulated and takes a while to calm down...as  someone said "he has an "on" button, but no "off" button.  He is affectionate, loves to tear up stuffed toys, crate trained, rides well in a car, and captivates everyone who has met him.  He is not aggressive to the resident dogs and okay with the kitties...will chase them if they run.  Because of his size and high energy levels, he intimidates everyone he meets.  He is learning not to jump up on people, walks on a halti. He will require a VERY EXPERIENCED owner.
