About Walter
Meet Walter! Walter is a charming 7-year-old tan and white piebald Dachshund who brings plenty of personality and love to his family. This affectionate boy thrives in a calm, cozy environment where he can cuddle and play. He’s craving a foster-to-adopt situation so he can settle into a stress-free home filled with warm blankets and companionship. Walter is crate trained and knows a variety of commands including sit, stay, and shake. He’s even mastered tricks like rolling over and fetching his ball when prompted. While he has a clever side, he also exhibits a classic Dachshund stubborn streak that makes him unique. His favorite pastime is playing fetch, and he can’t resist the challenge of de-stuffing toys for fun. Walter is best suited for a home with older, respectful children who understand boundaries, as younger kids may overwhelm him. He’s had some tough experiences, including an attack by another dog, so a patient family willing to support his confidence-building is crucial. Due to a chicken allergy, Walter requires a special diet that avoids chicken. He’s adaptable and loves to curl up under soft blankets next to his favorite human. If you’re looking for a loyal companion with a lot of love to give, Walter might be your perfect match. With regular walks and a secure fenced yard, he’ll be at his happiest, enjoying the sun and playtime. If you’re interested in giving Walter a loving home, please fill out an application today!
