Walnut is a fun, treat-loving pup with a heart as big as his puppy paws. He came to us with his littermates after being found in a rabbit enclosure under a house, and he’s been busy making up for lost time ever since. With patience, love, and plenty of snacks, Walnut has been blossoming into a more confident, playful, and downright lovable companion.
These days, he eagerly trots to the front of his kennel with loose wiggles, tail wags, and even silly play bows—especially if he thinks you might have treats. He's still on the shy side, especially around doorways, and sometimes prefers being picked up when it’s time to go in or out. But give him a few minutes outside, and he relaxes, opens up, and shows off his joyful, bouncy personality.
Walnut loves playing fetch and lights up during playtime, especially when he’s with another dog. Being around friendly pups has really boosted his confidence—he even made a new buddy in foster care and had a great time hanging out. He’s dog-friendly with both rough-and-rowdy wrestlers and gentle playmates.
He’s learning “sit,” figuring out the world one treat at a time, and absolutely thriving with encouragement.
Walnut would do best with someone who can keep nurturing his confidence and enjoy his silly, sweet energy. If you’re looking for a playful, eager-to-learn pup who just wants to be loved, Walnut might be the perfect nut for your family tree. 🌰💛
