My story

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

NEED A HOME SOON Our elderly Mom broke her hip and can no longer care for her beloved Wally (Walter). Due to her declining health over the last 3 years, once house trained Wally became somewhat pee-pad reliant. Although he was let out 3+ times per day, he used the pad as needed to meet her limitations. Our Mom was guilty of irregular feeding times so he’ll thrive with a regular schedule again. A behavioral quirk - without rhythm or reason - is he will pick one random person, whether male or female, and snarl. He’s protecting the person whose lap he is on. But never once he’s homed with “his people”. It’s more about guests. We’ve never seen him bite. He’s a Velcro dog typical of the breed. He’ll want to sit with you. He loves burrow beds, blankets and sweaters, loves toys, and watching out the window for wildlife. All and all a very good boy who will steal your heart.
