About Walter Fitzgerald

Walter Fitzgerald is the very definition of cool, calm, and collected! This handsome social butterfly makes leash walking look like an Olympic sport and is your go-to companion for chill vibes only. Walter has that magical balance of being able to ramp up for playtime but is just as happy to find a cozy spot and watch the world go by. He's truly special because of his emotional intelligence, knowing exactly how to read the room and other dogs. We believe Walter is a German Shepherd Mix, with a perfectly sized, sturdy, and athletic build. He's the ideal medium size – big enough to keep up on walks but compact enough for snuggles on the sofa.

Ideal Home

Walter is looking for a feline-free sanctuary. He'd much rather spend his time focusing 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's happy in a big backyard or a cozy city apartment due to his excellent leash manners.

Ongoing Health

Walter is up-to-date on all vetting, including vaccines, deworming, flea and heartworm prevention, and is microchipped.

Training & Support

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