About Walter

Meet Walter, an approximately 1-year-old Mastidoodle mix with a big heart and an even bigger personality. Weighing in at around 90 pounds, this playful and affectionate boy thrives on companionship, whether it’s with humans or his fellow canine friends. Walter enjoys outdoor adventures like walks and hikes, but he’s just as happy snuggling on the couch with his people. He’s potty trained, crate trained, and behaves well when left alone in his crate. Walter knows basic commands such as sit, stay, and come, and he’s eager to learn more. A home with another friendly dog would be a plus, although not a necessity since he's shown himself to be social with others. Given his playful nature and size, a home without small children is preferable, while older kids who are comfortable with larger dogs could be a good fit. Walter gets excited when meeting new friends, so someone patient who can continue his training would be ideal. Walter is ready to fill your home with love and laughter; he just needs a family who will embrace his goofy side and include him in their life. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
