Walter is not your average shelter dog—heâ€ÂTMs a bold, opinionated guy with a lot to say and a whole lot of heart for the right person. He can be bossy and loud, especially when heâ€ÂTMs excited or has something important to announce. One thing is non-negotiable: Walter LOVES toys. Loves them. Collects them. Buries them all over the yard like priceless treasure. He can get a little obsessive about them, so an adopter who understands boundaries and structure will be key. Walter does have stranger danger and needs time and patience to build trust. He isnâ€ÂTMt the kind of dog who falls in love at first sight—but once he forms a relationship, his softer, more affectionate side starts to shine. The bond you earn with Walter is a special one. Because Walter does best with slow, thoughtful introductions, he is available by appointment only. Please call the shelter to check availability and set up a meet-and-greet.
