Psst… hi! WALTER here.
I've got a feeling you and I could be pretty great together.
I'm on the bigger side — but honestly, that's just more of me to hug.
I'd love to meet you. But if I'm not quite the one, maybe you could do me one tiny favor — print my bio and pop it up somewhere a future best friend might spot it. Who knows, I might see you at the park someday! Either way, thank you for stopping by and giving me a moment. It really did mean a lot. — WALTER 🐾
The rescue’s notes on WALTER
05/04/26Meet one of a kind Walter!Walter is a 4 year old shepard that came to the shelter in mid-February. He loves other dogs and is even in our play groups! He has more of a push-pull playstyle and would do great with another friendly dog. He is not currently in our play group because he has not been baring weight on one of his front paws. Our medical team is keeping an eye on him and have stated that there were no broken bones! He just needs to take it easy for a little bit.Walter needs someone who is ready to give Walter the attention he craves. He is a total people dog. He has been experencing a lot of kennel stress here at the shelter and presents very poorly in the kennel because of this. And when it is time to come out, he gets over excited. Walter just want ot be a good boy and needs an adopter that will help train him so this dream can become a reality. He just wants to please.So what do you say? Will you ne the one to give Walter a chance?05/12/26 14:38What did we do on todayâs adventure:Big adventure day! I rode in the car, walked five miles, explored the park, calmly passed lots of people and doggy friends, and investigated approximately one million smells. I also tried to catch lizards because they are tiny rude dinosaurs. Then I went on a sniffari through PetSmart, got a pup cup, and headed back to my kennel like the exhausted athlete I am. My friend said Iâm a good boy. Obviously.What should potential adopters know about me:⢠Calm and well-mannered in new and busy environmentsârelaxed in the park, great in the car, and easily ignored passing walkers, joggers, and bikers. He calmly passed multiple dogs even when they barked at him. Showed some interest in geese and squirrels, and was especially curious about lizards.⢠Excellent loose-leash walker who checked in regularly with his handler⢠Highly treat-motivatedâwill sit for treats and takes them gentlyThree words to describe me:Affectionate, Goofy, Friendly
