A little about them

Walter is an energetic, strong, happy, goofy pup who will keep you laughing and active. His whole body wiggles with happiness when he sees his people, and he enjoys structure, walks, toys, and simply being nearby.

Ideal Home

Walter has done well meeting large and small dogs with slow introductions. He is friendly with children but may be too exuberant for small children because he does not yet realize his size. He is very curious about cats, so careful consideration is needed. Walter can jump over a 5½-foot wall and dislikes loud motorcycles, electric bikes, and scooters.

He has some separation anxiety and may cry, bark, or howl when he cannot see his people. He is not destructive and does not try to escape his crate.

Ongoing Health

Walter was found after apparently spending significant time on the street, with torn paw pads, scabs on his face, and badly worn nails. He is healing from happy tail.

Training & Support

Walter is crate trained and has had no crate accidents in over a month. A small treat helps him enter willingly, and he sleeps well in his crate when he knows his people are nearby. He is learning to walk politely on leash and does better with a front-clip harness. He is smart and attention-oriented, enjoys structure, and responds well to sit and stay when nervous.

Walter allows handling, including having food or toys removed, though he tends to turn everything into a game and does not readily want to give up his toys.
