Walter isn’t your typical shelter dog. He’s bold, stubborn, and wears his opinions on his sleeve. When Walter gets excited, you’ll know—he has a lot to say and isn’t shy about making announcements. He’s completely obsessed with toys; he’ll hoard them, bury them, and treat them like treasure. Toy management is an art with this guy, so he’ll do best with someone able to set limits and create structure. Walter takes his time warming up to people. He tends to be wary of strangers, so building trust will require patience and a calm, consistent approach. Once you earn his trust, though, Walter’s loyalty runs deep, and his affection is genuine. The dog you get after building that bond is worth the effort. Because he isn’t a quick adopter, Walter is available to meet by appointment only—contact the shelter to confirm his availability and set up time to let Walter decide if you’re his person. Your new best friend is just one click away.
