About Walter
Meet Walter, a spirited 7-year-old Miniature Poodle who’s got a personality that fills the room. Walter balances energy and chill perfectly—he loves to explore outdoors on walks, chasing after scents and zooming around the yard. When playtime wraps up, he’s happy to curl up on the couch next to you, all while being a little shadow, following you around but also knowing how to entertain himself. Walter is house-trained and great on the leash, making him a joy to take out. He rides well in the car and is comfortable in his crate. His "sit" command comes in handy, especially since he can be vocal when greeting guests or feeling protective. While he tends to bark more at men, proper reinforcement helps him calm down quickly. Future owners will appreciate his vibrant personality and need to engage with him, guiding him in managing his protective tendencies. This little charmer is also quite social, getting along well with both small and big dogs, and he’s made a big fan out of a neighbor's 11-year-old who visits daily. Walter has a signature move where he leaps joyfully when his people come home, and you’ll often find him napping on his back—his way of showing trust. Walter is a loving, adaptable companion who thrives with owners ready to embrace his quirks and energetic spirit. His minimum adoption fee is $300 plus a $15 rabies registration fee for McLean County residents. Click apply to start the adoption process.
