About Wally

Wally is a lively, affectionate pup who has spent far too long waiting for his permanent home. His foster mom, after fostering many dogs over a decade, ranks Wally as one of her absolute top favorites because of his winning personality and ability to make people smile. He loves nothing more than curling up with his people when he’s not burning off energy in a good play session. Wally is a social guy once he’s had a few days to adjust, happily playing with his four foster dog siblings, whether they’re big or small (his boss is a 10-pound Chi mix). He comes fully housetrained, crate trained, and has reliable leash manners. He can get quirky—like that time a Halloween ghost at the vet’s office spooked him—but that just adds to his unique charm. Wally needs an experienced adopter who can provide structure and patience, especially as he continues to learn that odd decorations are no big deal. He’s ready to hand out unconditional love, and he’s got plenty to go around. Click apply and let the tail-wagging begin!
