About Walter

Walter is a charming Maltese Terrier mix, just one year old, and tipping the scales at 12 pounds. His playful spirit shines through as he greets everyone with enthusiastic tail wags. Tug of war is one of his favorite games, and he enjoys long walks with his friendly demeanor toward both strangers and dogs. Walter is also great with kids. His housebreaking and crate training are coming along, and he’ll need some guidance to perfect them. After recovering from an eye infection upon his arrival at the shelter, he's now fully healed and looking great, even though some photos show him sporting a short haircut from grooming. Just wait until his hair grows back; he will be even cuter! He is neutered, fully vaccinated, and microchipped. If you’re interested in meeting Walter, please fill out the application on our website.
