My story

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

Don’t be fooled by this 8 lb. Chihuahua’s size! Walter’s personality could fill a football stadium. This dynamo wants to be the center of your world, and deservedly so. He will binge watch every TV show, take that all important afternoon nap, and then be ready for a nice walk. Other dogs are tolerated, but Walter truly wants to be the star of the household. He's perfect for someone who works from home (he’d love to be your personal assistant) or someone who is retired (he's your buddy for adventures, gardening, shopping, etc)-- Walter’s not picky, his goal is to be your cool companion. Walter is also a foodie--he loves treats and food which makes him very trainable.

Walter is suspicious at first of new people (aren’t we all) but give him a few days to settle in and he will be your best friend!

This boy was found on the streets and had been hit by a car. Tails of the City stepped in, rescued him, and provided the medical treatment and love this scared and hurt pup needed. Now Walter is waiting for that forever home that will shower him with the love and attention he deserves!

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

1. Complete the Adoption Application which you can find at http://tailsofthecityrescue.com/?page_id=20 and please fill it out completely. We know our dogs and their personalities well. The more information we have about your situation, the easier it will be for us to see if the dog you are interested in is a good match for you.
2. Meet the dog you are interested in at our Adoption Event. Bring your family and your other dogs, if you have them, so we can evaluate their interaction.
3. Once your application is accepted and all parties agree to proceed with the adoption, we will make a Home Visit. A home visit by one of our experienced board members ensures that you are able to provide a safe environment for your newly adopted pet.
4. A Signed Agreement is the next step of the process. Your application becomes part of the agreement by reference.
5. Your Tax-Deductible Donation. This is the final step of the adoption process. We ask for a suggested minimum donation of $300.00. We operate solely on individual donations. We receive no government funding or corporate sponsorship. The amount we suggest does not even begin to cover the cost of rescuing and placing one animal. If you can donate more we would be most grateful, as it may help save one more adorable face at the shelter that we would have had to otherwise leave behind. Feel empowered by your donation, because we cannot continue our work without your help!
