My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Walter is not your average shelter dog—he’s a bold, opinionated guy with a lot to say and a whole lot of heart for the right person. He can be bossy and loud, especially when he’s excited or has something important to announce. One thing is non-negotiable: Walter LOVES toys. Loves them. Collects them. Buries them all over the yard like priceless treasure. He can get a little obsessive about them, so an adopter who understands boundaries and structure will be key. Walter does have stranger danger and needs time and patience to build trust. He isn’t the kind of dog who falls in love at first sight—but once he forms a relationship, his softer, more affectionate side starts to shine. The bond you earn with Walter is a special one. Because Walter does best with slow, thoughtful introductions, he is available by appointment only. Please call the shelter to check availability and set up a meet-and-greet.
