About Wally

Wally is a 1.5-year-old Lab mix who is a true joy enthusiast! He has the face of a thoughtful poet and the grin of a guy who just discovered the snack drawer and now believes the universe might actually be on his side. With velvety ears, expressive eyebrows, and a tail that seems powered by renewable energy, Wally is ready to bring happiness to your home. He's crate trained and house-trained, approaching "Good Boy" behavior with scholarly discipline. Playtime with Wally is performance art; he gallops and zooms with narrative purpose. Beneath his playful exterior, Wally has a sincere heart and wants to be wherever you are. He gets along well with other dogs and is happy to be your one and only companion. Wally looks at people with hope, curiosity, and readiness, ready to turn ordinary days into suspiciously good ones.

Ideal Home

Wally would thrive in a home where he can be your loyal satellite made entirely of optimism. He's happy to be your one and only ride-or-die, but could also do well with other dogs, as he passes the vibe audit instantly with no weird energy.

Ongoing Health

Wally is up-to-date on vaccinations, microchipped, and on heartworm and flea prevention.

Training & Support

Wally is crate trained and house trained. He approaches obedience with scholarly discipline.
