My story

Walter is a pup with a truly eye catching, unique coat that turns heads wherever he goes. He is as handsome as he is sweet, and his personality quickly matches his looks. Walter is friendly, social, and enjoys meeting both people and dogs of all sizes. He also likes to go on walks. He walks a slow to moderate pace and he likes to say hello to everyone. When people meet Walter they often say he has a great disposition. He is calm and loving. Walter is a buddy dog. He enjoys following his people around the house. During quiet times he loves to sit on the couch and cuddle. When left alone, It would be best for Walter to be in a home where he is free to wonder around the home. He is housebroken and settles nicely into a routine. He has an affectionate side and especially loves ear scratches and quiet moments with his people. Walter is also curious and enjoys exploring the world around him. He has a bit of a stubborn streak, which just adds to his charm. He is currently working on getting comfortable with car rides. Right now he prefers to be lifted into the car and can be a little nervous while driving, but he is already showing progress and gaining confidence with each ride. Walter would thrive in a home with a fenced yard where he can explore at his own pace. Another playful dog would be a wonderful bonus, though he would also do well as the center of attention. If you are looking for a loyal, curious, and strikingly beautiful companion, Walter may be the perfect fit for you. Walter is estimated to be 2 years old and 35 lbs. Since we don’t know the dog’s actual genetics, this is just a guess on breed and size when grown. All dogs have had a vet examination, are up to date on all vaccinations, have been given dewormer and heartworm prevention. Dogs over 7 months have been heartworm tested. If you are interested in meeting this dog please complete the adoption application on our website at https://safehandsrescue.org/adoption-process/ and then we can contact you about setting up a meeting. We are also holding the following upcoming adoption events! Please note: All dogs/puppies will not be at every event, and some may find their home prior to the event. If you are interested in a specific animal, please check our Facebook page for confirmed attendance the morning of the event: https://www.facebook.com/safehandsrescue/ You do not need to have a Facebook account to check the Safe Hands Facebook page for attendance. We hope to see you at an upcoming Meet & Greet! Saturday, March 28, 11:00am-1:00pm, Bachman’s Plymouth, 10050 6th Ave N, Plymouth https://www.facebook.com/events/1555469588811031 Saturday, April 4, 12-2pm, Broken Clock Brewing Cooperative, 1712 Marshall St. NE Mpls, Ste. 100, https://www.facebook.com/events/936287845648177

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Walter, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
