My story

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

Walter is a sweet, gentle young dog who is just about one year old. While his early puppy months were spent in a small crate, he’s now discovering what it truly means to be a dog—and his progress has been heartwarming to watch.

When Walter first came to us, he was malnourished and hadn’t known proper care. With time, patience, and love, he is gaining strength, confidence, and a joyful spirit. Each day he becomes a little brighter and braver.

Walter loves to run, play, and explore, and he would do especially well in a home with another friendly dog to help show him the ropes. He’s still learning about the world, so he’s looking for a patient, understanding adopter who will move at his pace as he navigates all these new experiences.

A securely fenced yard is required so Walter can safely enjoy stretching his legs and continuing to build confidence through play.

Walter is a truly special soul who just needs someone willing to give him the time and kindness he’s always deserved. In return, he’ll offer loyalty, sweetness, and quiet gratitude.
