About Walter

Walter is an 18-month-old Boxer mix with a big heart and a knack for bringing playfulness to any setting. He bonds deeply with his people and is happiest in a home where he can really connect. Once you’re part of his circle, he’s affectionate, loyal, and wants in on whatever you’re doing. He’s a bit reserved with new folks and can need some quiet time to warm up—especially when things get loud or busy at home. With gentle introductions and some patience, his affectionate personality shines through. Walter is all about backyard antics rather than marathon walks. He loves a game of catch, clowning around, and playing with his older dog siblings. He’s no stranger to chaos, having grown up around a toddler, teens, a cat, and other dogs, but he may do best as an only pet. Walter is likely to thrive where he can get undivided attention and relax into his new space. He’d fit well in a patient home that can give him some time to settle and help him build confidence. In exchange, you’ll get a devoted companion who just wants to love and be loved. As a fun side note: Walter’s birthday lands in October, making him a Libra—a true partner at heart, always seeking harmony. Click apply and let the tail-wagging begin!
