About Waldo

Meet Waldo! This sweet boy is searching for a special person to help him discover that the world might not be as scary as it seems. As a stray, Waldo struggled to understand his surroundings and now needs a patient adopter to guide him. He thrives around large canine companions and would really benefit from living with another large breed dog. A quiet, low-traffic household would be perfect for building his confidence. Once he trusts you, Waldo transforms into a big cuddly baby, happily leaning into you and resting his head on your lap. He also has a playful side that emerges as he settles in. Overall, he’s a lower-energy dog looking for a calm, loving family. Waldo is available for special adoption through our behavior department to ensure a great match. If you're interested, please email or speak with our behavior manager, Alisha (abrzozowy@potterleague.org, ext. 123). What are you waiting for? Apply today!
