About Wally

Meet Wally! Wally has the heart and patience of someone who’s spent a long time waiting for a real break. He’s a sweet, round-bodied, small-to-medium Brittany Spaniel and Terrier mix, three years old and finally ready for a home of his own. Life hasn’t been smooth for Wally, so he tends to be shy with new faces and needs slow introductions. But stick with him—once Wally trusts you, you get his whole heart. He’s loyal and will always stick by your side. He’s happiest when you toss him a toy or take him to the water for a swim, but he’ll never turn down a walk or a good car ride. Above all, Wally lives for belly rubs. He’d do best as your only pet, though a very calm, smaller dog might be a fit with careful intros. Wally needs someone steady, someone who won’t rush or give up on him while he figures out what love feels like. If you’ve got the patience to see a shy, earnest dog open up, Wally is waiting in Washington, IA. Give them the home they have been waiting for. Apply today.
