SAAP Nation, please welcome Walter!
Walter was surrendered to the shelter after living his life on a chain/in a pen. He then spent over 100 days at the shelter before coming to SAAP.
The shelter worker loved him so much, she cried when she found out he was going to rescue. He has been with us about a month recovering from teeth extractions, a skin infection, and an upper respiratory infection, but I am thrilled to report that he is now healthy and ready for adoption! He is close to 80 pounds and looks to be some type of husky mix.
Walt is a miracle dog to me - after spending his life outside, one would expect him to be unsocialized at best, unadoptable at worst...but this guy loves people. He loves toys. He loves the couch. HE LOVES FOOD. He will snuggle, he will be your shadow and follow you throughout the house. He has done well with my daughter, is not scared of men or strangers, does fine in the crate but absolutely can be left out, is housebroken, and loves to meander around the yard smelling the smells and taking on the sights.
He ignores our cat completely and has done well with the dogs here (with the exception of our very large 100% blind dog who mows down everyone in his path...he is NOT a fan of that. So Walt would need to be with dogs that respect his space and cues. If they do, they will get along swimmingly). He also sleeps with tongue out and has a mustache!!!!
Walt is so deserving of a loving family - apply to #AdoptWalter at
www.adoptastray.com or reply to your approval email to meet him.
