About Walter Fitzgerald

Walter Fitzgerald is 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 who can be your shadow or happily coexist while you work. He has a magical balance of playfulness and a calm demeanor, always knowing how to read the room and other dogs. We believe he's a German Shepherd mix, with a perfectly sized, sturdy, and athletic build that makes him ideal for cuddles and adventures.

Ideal Home

Walter is looking for a feline-free sanctuary where he can focus all his love and attention on his humans and canine pals. He would do best with a medium-energy dog sibling who enjoys playtime but also appreciates a good afternoon nap. He is happy in both a large backyard or a cozy city apartment, as he is a pro on leash and doesn't require a massive yard.

Ongoing Health

Walter is up-to-date on all his vetting, which includes DAPP with booster, Bordetella, Rabies vaccine, multiple broad-spectrum deworming treatments, flea prevention, and a 12-month injectable heartworm preventative. He has also tested negative for heartworms.

Training & Support

Walter is already crate trained and potty trained, making his transition into your home a breeze. He is a perfect gentleman in his crate and a dream in the car. He is also dog social and excellent at reading other dogs' body language, knowing when to politely ask for space.
