Meet Quinn (aka Walter) - a gentle soul with a heart ready to bloom. Walter was rescued from a breeder in Missouri along with dozens, possibly hundreds, of other dogs. Despite his difficult beginnings, he has adjusted beautifully in his foster home. His current home has a fully fenced yard. House & Crate Manners Fully potty trained: He follows the other dogs outside and has had excellent success. Because he's always had access to a fenced yard, we're not yet sure how he does going potty on a leash, but he's such a gentle, observant boy that he'll likely adapt with patience and routine. Crate trained: He comfortably spends about 5 hours in his crate during the workday, enjoys a lunch break, and then settles again for another few hours. At night, he sleeps silently in his crate on a soft bed. With time and trust, he'd likely love to cuddle on the bed too. Behavior & Personality No chewing issues: Because of his unusual early life, Walter doesn't chew on anything - not furniture, not shoes, not even toys (though he's starting to show interest). Exceptionally calm: He has a peaceful presence that makes him easy to live with. Quiet indoors: He's silent about 95% of the time. The remaining 5% is reserved for adorable, happy whines when he's excited to come out of his crate. He does bark outside, but his bark is soft and becomes less frequent as he settles in. Health & Care Walter is 7 years old with no known health issues. Due to the first six years of his life being so abnormal, he takes a low daily dose of Fluoxetine - a generally inexpensive medication. He eats kibble twice a day and enjoys all kinds of treats. Gets Along With Everyone In his foster home, Walter lives with: an older female Golden Retriever a younger, reactive male Cattle Dog/Pit mix - who is also on Fluoxetine an 11monthold male Cocker Spaniel He has been wonderful with all of them - gentle, respectful, and easygoing. If you're looking for a serene, sweet companion who's ready for a second chance at a real life, Walter might be your perfect match. Adoption Fee: $595
