About Walterini

Walterini came into the care of the shelter earlier this year and has been learning to trust the world at his own pace. He has a soft, sensitive side and tends to be cautious with new people, so slow introductions and low-pressure environments work well for him. Walterini responds to gentle handling, thrives with daily routines, and finds comfort knowing what to expect. Treats, especially cheese, are an easy way to win him over on walks, which he enjoys as time for sniffing and exploring at a mellow pace. Walterini feels safest in a home without young children and does best when his boundaries are respected. He’s looking for adopters willing to offer him steady encouragement, space to grow, and plenty of patience as he builds up his confidence. With time and the right support, Walterini’s affectionate personality promises to shine through. He has been neutered and is up to date on vaccinations, ready to move on to a calmer, more predictable environment where he can be a truly loyal companion. Click apply to start the adoption process.
