Meet Walter! This handsome pup is a poodle mix and can be described as affectionate and gentle. He has been successfully cohabitating with other pups and loves to play with them, or to play fetch with his humans.
While Walter does well when meeting new humans, he can be cautious in new places and may try to escape. He will need a patient adopter who will help him acclimate to new situations. Walter is also working on his house, crate, and leash skills and will need an adopter who will continue this training. We strongly recommend that all of our dogs attend obedience classes to learn commands, develop confidence, and socialize with other dogs.
Do you think Walter would make a great addition to your home? Fill out an application to let him know!
