Walt is a shy and sensitive boy who’s made steady progress since coming to the shelter. He arrived fearful and unsure of people, not sure what to expect, but gentle handling and support from his yard buddy, Wilson, have helped him slowly open up. Walt is learning that people can be trusted, revealing a sweet but cautious personality to those he feels safe with. He needs adopters who understand that building confidence takes time. Calm homes, gentle routines, and space to approach at his own speed help Walt thrive. Sudden noise or quick movement still make him anxious, so he would do best in a home without children. Someone patient, kind, and willing to nurture him will help Walt continue his journey from fear to trust. If you’re seeking a gentle soul to watch grow, Walt might be what you’ve been searching for.
