Looking for a new best friend who is the definition of cool, calm, and collected? Meet the handsome Walter Fitzgerald, a dog who makes leash walking look like an Olympic sport! Walter is the epitome of chill vibes only. Whether you're looking for a shadow to follow you from room to room or a partner to simply coexist while you work, he is your man! He has that magical balance of being able to turn on the play when it's time to romp, but he's just as happy to find a cozy spot and watch the world go by. He is truly special because of his emotional intelligence; he knows exactly how to read the room (and the other dogs in it).
While we never know for sure without a DNA test, we think Walter is a German Shepherd Mix. He has a sturdy, athletic build that makes him easy to take anywhere but substantial enough for a good cuddle. He's the ideal medium size – big enough to keep up on walks, but compact enough to not take up the entire sofa. His heart is 100% purely love. Walter is currently living in a foster home and is absolutely crushing his "good boy" curriculum! He is already crate trained and potty trained, making the transition into your home a total breeze. He's been a perfect gentleman in his crate, even when there's a lot of action going on around him. He's a dream in the car and ready to be your co-pilot for any weekend errands or coffee runs.
Ideal Home
Walter would do best with a medium energy dog sibling who enjoys a little playtime but also appreciates a good afternoon nap. Walter has decided that cats are just a little too exciting for his taste, so he is looking for a feline-free sanctuary. He'd much rather spend his time focusing all his love and attention on his humans and his canine pals! Whether you have a big backyard or a cozy city apartment, this guy will fit right in. Because he is an absolute pro on a leash, he doesn't need a massive yard to stay happy. He's just as happy strolling through the neighborhood as he is lounging on a rug.
