My personality

My story

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

Wall-E is a doodle mix, approximately 2–3 years old and weighing around 30 pounds. He is a quiet, reserved boy who has found the shelter environment to be a bit overwhelming, especially at first. Because of this, he may appear shy or uncertain, but he is expected to feel more comfortable and confident once settled into a home.

When Wall-E first arrived, his long coat limited his vision, which likely contributed to his fear and hesitation. Since then, it’s become clear that he does best when people move slowly and handle him gently. He appreciates calm energy and a patient approach that allows him to feel safe.

Training & Support Needs

Wall-E will benefit from continued confidence-building and gentle guidance. He needs handlers who can go at his pace, use soft movements, and give him time to process new situations. Positive reinforcement and routine will help him continue to settle and learn. He is not a dog that thrives with pressure, but he does respond well to kindness and consistency.

Ideal Home

Wall-E would do best in a quiet, low-traffic home that allows him to settle in on his own terms. A calm household will help him feel secure as he adjusts. Other dogs may be a good fit if they are well matched to his gentle, low-key demeanor. Cat testing will be completed soon. Due to his sensitivity, a home with children aged 16 and older is recommended.

Wall-E is looking for an understanding adopter who can see past the shelter nerves and give him the time and space he needs to show who he really is.

More about this shelter

Want to adopt a pet and give them a forever home? We're thrilled! Our pro-adoption shelter places 200 to 300 dogs and small animals every year with families and homes that best meet the needs of the animals.

We have dogs of all ages, from newborn puppies to senior dogs. While puppies are popular, older dogs can be great pets, too. They are smart and grateful companions that won't leave you with puppy puddles or chewed-up slippers. Why not enrich your life and that of an older dog?

We also adopt out small animals including rabbits, hamsters, birds, rats, guinea pigs, and sometimes reptiles.
