My story

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

Howdy, friends, I'm Walter. Perhaps you were expecting a senior gentleman with a bow tie and pipe with a name like that? Well, I'm still a young guy and it's still to be determined if I'm a distinguished scholar ... but the name must be working for me, because my friends here at Animal Humane are always telling me how much they love me. It could be my adorable face (seriously, scroll through to my last photo here), or the full body snuggles I give, or what a good boy I am walking on my leash. I'm very affectionate (except with cats - it's just my nature to herd them and tell them what to do), and I'm a good listener. If we sound like a good match, don't wait - come meet me today!

A team member says, "Walter is the sweetest guy - always affectionate and happy to see you right from the start. He's easy to harness and leash and get out of his kennel for a walk. He enjoys running around the park and can entertain himself, but if you call him, he'll immediately come over and flop onto you for scritches and attention."
