Balto appears to be a purebred Siberian Husky. He was transferred from a city shelter, where he arrived as a stray and no one claimed him. Now he’s here with us at Operation Kindness, where he’ll have another chance at a loving home. Balto needs a home where his physical needs will be met, as well as necessary grooming and a cool place to spend Texas summers. He is a calm dog and walks well on a leash. Come meet this big baby and give him the home he needs.
Balto and other pets are available for adoption from Operation Kindness, 3201 Earhart Drive, Carrollton. The no-kill shelter is open six days: Monday, 3-8 p.m.; closed Tuesday; Wednesday, 3-8 p.m.; Thursday, noon-8 p.m.; Friday, noon-5 p.m.; Saturday, 11 a.m.-5 p.m.; and Sunday, noon-5 p.m. The cost is $110 for cats, $135 for kittens, $150 for dogs over 1 year, and $175 for puppies. The cost includes the spay/neuter surgery, microchipping, vaccinations, heartworm test for dogs, leukemia and FIV test for cats, and more. Those who adopt two pets at the same time receive a $20 discount.
