Dog Blog

The Dog Blog is a community of ordinary dog lovers who have come together to discuss our extraordinary dogs. Each Monday, a new topic is introduced. If you've got an opinion, share it. If not, look for the current "anything goes" topic and introduce a discussion of your own. On Fridays, weigh in about your training questions and successes.
Your host: Mike Lewis is a little-dog nerd and the proud owner of Eddie and Jillian, a pair of Yorkies who think they're huskies, and Lucy, a sweet Chessie. R.I.P., Rusty. Contact mlewis@adn.com

AACCC Adoption of the Week: Meet Balto

BaltoBalto
Here's Anchorage Animal Care and Control Center's Adoption of the Week, courtesy of Brooke Taylor, AACCC's public relations coordinator.

Here is Balto, an adult, male, husky mix.  He is very active, loves to run, and has an adventurous, inquisitive spirit. He has the makings of a great skijoring dog and a fine companion. He can be a little shy, so will do best in a home without small children, but he has gotten along great with other dogs at AACCC. A sweet, gentle spirit and quite adorable!  He was recently neutered and can be adopted for $72, which includes MOA license, vaccinations, and microchip.

Check out Balto's video:
