Psst… hi! Walter (Livermore) here.
I'm still young and full of beans, with a whole lot of love (and a few zoomies) saved up for the right person.
I do come with a few special needs, but please don't let that worry you — I just need a patient friend, and I pay it back tenfold.
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 (Livermore) 🐾
The rescue’s notes on Walter (Livermore)
Adorable, soulful Walter is a 9-month-old neutered male basset hound who came into GGBR with his female companion, Maisie, due to the owner's housing issue. He is a healthy dog who has a good temperament, getting along well with people and other dogs. Walter is somewhat reserved, but affectionate. He has discovered dog toys and enjoys playing with them. However, because of his tendency to consume inedible objects, including some plastics, socks and underwear, he requires toys that are not easily destroyed, or swallowed. Because of his history of eating socks, we think that an adult home may be more suitable for Walter than a home with children where toys and articles of clothing might be more accessible. Walter and Maisie enjoy playing together. They can be adopted separately, but would probably appreciate a home with another doggie playmate.
