Story
We are accepting applications for our Wookie Arri! Having this boy has been nothing but smiles, laughter and joy. He is a sweet, snuggly and such a good boy. He is wonderful with people, kids and other dogs. We would not consider him for homes who have cats, not because he will eat them, but because he wants to bark at them continuously. He is 5 years old 9 lbs and was hit by a car in RI. He had a repaired, ruptured bladder, which healed wonderfully, and his pelvis which was broken will eventually heal in time per the Dr. We have 40 page vet records. So we are looking for a low-key home without a lot of stairs and can pick him up in and out of the house for the next 6 to 8 weeks. Arri should never be able to jump on and off a bed or a couch to prevent future problems. He has a neuter appt that will be done in Providence,RI soon. HE DOES NOT NEED BRACES! lol He is PERFECT! Application on our website walkerswayrescue.com RI and CT adoptions only. LOCATED IN RI!

You'll have a playful sidekick who loves being by your side.  Gizmo is a fetch master and could probably teach a class or two! he also enjoys short walks and has plenty of playful energy, while still appreciating the comforts of home.
