Baltos is a happy, adaptable puppy with a playful spirit and a sweet heart. He is a male Labrador Mix, approximately 9 months old and weighing around 20 lbs, with an expected adult weight of approximately 38 lbs. Baltos is social and gets along very well with other dogs, children, men, and women, making him a wonderful family companion. At first, he can be a little cautious when meeting new people, but he warms up quickly with curiosity and a wagging tail. Once comfortable, he loves attention and being petted. Baltos is a well-rounded puppy who uses a crate, walks well on a leash, and lets you know when he needs to go outside to potty. He loves to play, especially with his toys, and is eager to learn, making him an excellent choice for a family looking for a loving and fun companion.
