About Walter

Meet Walter, or as his friends call him, Wally! This big-hearted 3.5-year-old Staffordshire Terrier mix weighs in at a solid 75 pounds. With dreams of being a lap dog, he thrives on belly rubs and the joy of life. Just a short time ago, Walter was near euthanasia, but thanks to a kind soul, he's found love and safety. Now, he's ready to find his forever home. Wally's personality strikes a perfect balance between playful and calm. He enjoys zooming around the yard, showing off his toy collection, and going for gentle walks. At the end of the day, he's all about snuggling, sitting quietly by your side, or curling up for a cozy nap. Walter understands commands like sit, stay, and down and is both crate and house trained. However, noisy environments can sometimes unsettle him, and he takes daily medication for anxiety. With a calm, structured home devoid of other pets or children, he will flourish with your love and patience. His foster mom, a vet behaviorist, has noted his fantastic progress and offers lifetime support for his future family. Unlike many dogs, he doesn’t get along with other pets. Walter's adoption fee is sponsored by Vector Plumbing, ensuring he's ready for a new loving home, complete with his neuter, microchip, and vaccinations. If you're ready for a big-hearted companion who brings laughter and love, Walter is waiting for you! Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
