About Wally B

Wally B really does look like a plush toy—think of a friendly, oversized Fozzy Bear with curls and a big, watchful presence. He’s a schnauzer-poodle mix who weighs in around 40 pounds, and he was found as a stray in south Texas after being mistreated by local kids, tossed rocks at, and left to fend for himself on a hot day. Despite that rough introduction, Wally B’s temperament stands out. He’s had a tough past as shown by his worn-down teeth—likely from years stuck in a wire kennel—but he still knows basic commands like sit and takes to a doggie door with no trouble, so he’s clearly been someone’s pet before. Wally B gets along well with other dogs, wants to stick close to his person, and he warms up fast to new people despite being a bit hesitant at first. This guy will thrive when he feels safe and loved—expect an affectionate companion who aims to be your sidekick, always aware of where you are. Give Wally B a true home, and you’ll see just how much joy he can bring to your everyday life. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
