My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Walter is a 4 year old Maltese mix with Cerebellar Hypoplasia, a condition that affects his balance, coordination, and depth perception. This causes him to bounce and wiggle when he walks, but he doesn't know he is different from any other dog! Despite this condition that he was born with, he is a happy, playful, social boy that gets around really well! He can eat, drink, and play just like any other dog. He is loving, affectionate, curious, and adventurous!

Walter does well with other dogs with a proper introduction and does well with cats. Due to his condition, he would do best in a home without children. Fast and sudden movements can be scary for him due to his issues with depth perception.

Walter is neutered, house trained, current on vaccines/deworming/flea & tick preventative, microchipped, and crate trained.

If you are interested in adopting Walter and Leo, you can fill out an application on our website at www.heathshavenrescue.com. Heath's Haven will adopt out of state as long as a home visit and transport can be arranged.
