My story

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

Age: 14 years old 

Weight: 45 pounds

Adoption Fee: $75

As we are a 100%-volunteer organization, Walter currently lives in a foster home. This is what the foster family has to say: 

Walter was a stray and rescued on New Years' eve 2016. Due to his age and general condition, he would have been euthanized at the shelter. He is not difficult to care for but he is deaf, slow-moving and not a fan of dogs who come too close or too fast. On a typical day, Walter wakes up, does his bathroom business, eats breakfast, sleeps until dinner (with a short afternoon walk/bathroom break), then he takes an evening constitutional walk before dinner, has dinner, then settles in for the evening. He has typical old-man lumps and he walks with a limp from an old injury. The best thing about Walter is that he always looks happy and he makes you smile too!

****************************************************************************

Walter is available for adoption through Spirit Canine Rescue. To adopt Walter, please visit our website http://www.spiritcaninerescue.org/adopt.html for more information and to complete an application. A home visit will be required prior to adoption. We request that all adopters be within reasonable traveling distance to Burlington NC. All dogs will be spayed/neutered prior to adoption and will also be up-to-date on age-appropriate vaccinations (rabies, distemper/parvo and bordatella).
