About Walter Fitzgerald

Meet Walter Fitzgerald, the epitome of cool, calm, and collected! This handsome social butterfly makes leash walking look like an Olympic sport. Walter is a chill vibes only companion, happy to be your shadow or simply coexist while you work. He has a magical balance of playful energy and a talent for finding a cozy spot to watch the world go by. Walter's emotional intelligence is truly special; he knows exactly how to read the room and other dogs. We believe he is a German Shepherd Mix, perfectly sized for any adventure and ideal for cuddles.

Ideal Home

Walter is looking for a feline-free sanctuary. He would do best with a medium-energy dog sibling who enjoys playtime but also appreciates a good afternoon nap.

Ongoing Health

Walter is a healthy boy who has received all necessary vetting, including vaccinations, deworming, flea and heartworm prevention, and is microchipped.

Training & Support

Walter is already crate trained and potty trained, making him a breeze to integrate into your home. He is a perfect gentleman in his crate and a dream in the car, ready to be your co-pilot for any outing. He is also fantastic at reading other dogs' body language and knows how to politely ask for space when needed.

  • The adoption fee is $1,200.00, which includes all vetting, transport, and a lifetime of love.
