Oh — hi! WALDO here.

I still can't believe I survived that highway and ended up here getting chest scratches and treats like some kind of miracle actually happened to me.

My notes call me gentle and a little shy — I warm up fast once I trust you, though.

I'm a youngster — a little goofy, very teachable, and absolutely ready to grow up beside someone wonderful.

I've been holding down the fort in Statesville, hoping someone like you would wander by.

Here's the thing — I can't tell if we'd truly click until I know a little about you. Sign in (it's free) and I'll size up your place, say hello to any dogs you've got — or be your very first — and give you my honest read on whether we'd be a match.

With a little luck, Labor Day could be my first one in a real home — possibly with you, or with someone you send my way.

Thanks for stopping by and giving me a moment — it honestly made my whole day. — WALDO

About WALDO

Coming to us as a stray after he was discovered running loose on a VERY busy highway, Waldo spent the night with his finder until the shelter opened the next day. While with her, she let us know how well behaved he was and that he even loved her cat????! She even made sure to tell us that she would keep him (of course after his required stray hold and no owner came forward) IF her complex allowed her to do so. That is how much of an impression this cutie left on her! With no chip and no ID tag, there was no way to contact a family if he had one and no one ever came for him. So now, THIS is where Waldo is! And family is what we are going to help him to find! Since his arrival to us, this adorable guy has been a little nervous, but we have won him over with chest and chin scratches, and treats! He is very food motivated! He has met a slightly smaller spayed female since he arrived to us and after he sniffed her a couple times, he allowed her to sniff him as a courtesy, because this boy was all about what was happening around him and moving onto the next thing. Because he was a little preoccupied when meeting his new friend, meet and greets will be required with other dogs already in his potential home, prior to adoption, to ensure a great fit for all. And of course, we always recommend any children to meet and greet their potential dog siblings prior to adoption too!
