About

Meet Walter

A FUN AND FRIENDLY FELLOW:  Approx. 5 years old / Approx. 33 lbs.     Hi there!  My name is Walter!  I came to Mostly Mutts from animal control and immediately became a volunteer favorite.  When I went to my foster home shortly after arriving at Mostly Mutts, I soon charmed my foster family as well!  I’m now ready to steal the hearts of my new family, so plan to come meet me soon! • OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS:  I haven’t met other dogs yet, but I don’t react to the dogs I pass on my neighborhood walks with my foster, so let’s meet! / Cats unknown, but I haven’t reacted to the squirrels that are in my foster’s yard, so that’s a good sign.  If you have a kitty, let’s meet and see if we can be friends. / I’ve only met a 6-week-old infant while in my foster home and just politely sniffed them.  So, if you have kids, let’s meet and best no toddlers that I may bump over.       • PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL:  I had the reputation at the shelter as being very sweet and curious with a calm nature.  In my foster home, they describe me as ‘loving and compliant’ with some bursts of fun, playful energy.  I bring a smile to faces when ever I meet someone – just a great guy! / My energy level is 4-6.    • SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY:  I’ve learned the ‘sit’ command in my foster home, and I’m great on my leash walks, staying right by my foster mom.  I  bet you can teach me lots more! / My crate manners have been very good in my foster home. / After just a few initial accidents in my foster home, my potty manners have been very good.  I think I was just getting used to my new surroundings at first.  • LIKES/DISLIKES:  I am a fun-natured fellow who loves to play with my toys and enjoys a good game of fetch!  I’m a people dog, and I seem especially fond of women.  I enjoy following my people around and sitting right by their side.  Since my leash manners are great, and I enjoy my walks around the neighborhood … leash me up and let’s gooooo! / Loud noises bother me, and I seem to be a bit out of sorts if my things are out of place.  Otherwise, I’m sure I wouldn’t like it if I didn’t get enough love, attention, exercise, and training. • MEDICAL:  I'm current on vaccinations, micro-chipped and neutered.  I have moderate tartar on my teeth, so my adoptive family should consult with their vet and consider a dental cleaning in the future. I am looking for a loving home with a great furever family!  My adoption fee is $299.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga.
