About Walrus

Meet Walrus, a joyful and slightly shy one-year-old pit bull mix looking for a loving home. He's a sweet soul who enjoys spending time with other dogs, and he’s eager to learn—especially when given plenty of positive reinforcement. His playful and cuddly nature shines through during his daily training and play sessions. Walrus has been through a lot, including a leg injury that required care and rehabilitation. Thanks to his foster mom’s love and support, he’s on the mend and ready for the next chapter of his life. He’s housebroken and does well when kept on a regular schedule. Also, he lived with a cat in his foster home, so he can coexist with felines, albeit with a little curiosity. Walrus will thrive best in a home where he can meet any resident dogs beforehand, ensuring they're the best of pals. He’s been gentle and polite with kids aged three to ten and would appreciate a warm, kind family that appreciates his unique quirks. If you're ready for a playful buddy who'll bring sunshine into your home, Walrus is eager to meet you! Click apply to start the adoption process.
