About Walker

Walker is an 8-month-old Morkie (Maltese/Yorkshire Terrier mix) weighing just 5 lbs. He has a soft, long golden apricot coat that's as charming as his personality. Timid at first, Walker opens up quickly to reveal a loving, affectionate temperament and a playful streak. He forms strong bonds with his people and prefers being close, thriving in a supportive, gentle environment. Walker gets along very well with other dogs and would enjoy having a canine friend in his new home for both confidence and playtime. He's also good with cats and children. You'll see his fun-loving side when he darts around the yard for his famous zoomies. Potty training is a work in progress, but with patience and positive reinforcement, he's making steady improvements. He's still growing braver with the wider world, so he'll need an adopter who understands the pace he needs to gain confidence outdoors. Being a Morkie, Walker is considered hypoallergenic, but his lovely long coat will need regular grooming to stay clean and comfortable. He comes neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated, with his adoption fee including his initial vet care. Walker is looking for a patient, loving family ready to help him blossom and return their devotion tenfold with loyalty—plus plenty of adorable antics. Start your journey together! Apply now.
