Meet Walter! He is a 2 yr old neutered male mixed breed that weighs 61 lbs. He came into the Mesquite Animal Shelter on 4/1 as a stray. He has his happy go lucky personality, enjoys being petted and loved on, and you can see it in his smile and constant tail wag. He enjoys going for walks and taking in all the different smells, and enjoying the company of his human companion. He will give you kisses if you are lucky! He walks great on a leash, takes treats gently and does know the sit command. Walter enjoys chasing balls and will bring them back sometimes. He also likes to lounge around taking naps on his own dog bed, and will play with a ball while resting. He is adorable to watch. He is such a friendly, loving, sweet happy boy, you can't help but smile when he is around. As we walked through the bay with the other dogs barking at him, he did not pay any attention to them. It's always best if you do have another dog in the home, please ask the shelter for a dog test. He is a well mannered boy, that keeps dreaming of having his own final loving family one day. One where he would have a secured backyard to play in, but most importantly live inside where he can stay comfortable and cool, enjoying taking long naps on this dog bed, playing with his ball, or cuddling close on the couch watching tv with his human companion. He has an exceptional personality, and hopes you will see how deserving he is! Walter is a Shelter Staff and Volunteer favorite!!
