About Walter

Walter may be an older gentleman, but hes still a puppy at heart. He is a gentle, loving boy who adores his people and is looking for a quiet home where he can enjoy his golden years surrounded by love. Walter has never met a stranger! Everyone he meets is a potential new best friend, although his age-related loss of vision means he can be a little cautious when exploring somewhere new or meeting someone for the first time. He just needs a few moments to work out exactly where you are and whats happening around him. Unexpected or loud noises can be frightening for Walter, so he will need kind, patient people who understand that he may need reassurance when something startles him. Once he has had time to adjust, Walter is happiest simply being with his people. Whether youre working, relaxing or pottering around the house, Walter will happily settle by your feet and keep you company. And then there are the toys! Walter is a huge toy fan and is very often spotted proudly carrying his favourite stuffed teddy around with him. Walter does enjoy the company of other dogs and could potentially live with a calm, gentle canine companion who could help him feel confident as he learns about his new world. Walter is looking for a home with adults or older teenagers who will treat him gently and understand that his older bones may be a little achy. He will need someone around frequently at first, giving him time to learn his new home, establish a routine and build confidence. Because Walter relies on his memory of where things are, a home with a consistent layout and minimal changes to his surroundings would be ideal. More than anything, Walter is looking for someone who will see the adoring, affectionate puppy he still is underneath those golden years. He doesnt need a busy or exciting life; He just needs a loving person, a peaceful home, his favourite teddy and plenty of affection.

How to adopt from Dogs Trust (ROI)

Apply to adopt online for the dog you're interested in; Dogs Trust contacts you to arrange meeting the dog. Dublin dogs are at the Finglas rehoming centre; dogs elsewhere are in foster care and can't be visited at a centre.

Adoption fees

Our adoption fee is €275 for adult dogs and this fee helps us to cover the costs of caring for over 1,500 dogs every year. Our fee for adopting a puppy under 6 months is €325. This includes the €275 rehoming fee and a reduced €50 online Dog School fee. Our Dog School classes help puppies learn key life skills and teach owners the basic training skills they need to create a strong bond with their new dog. Every dog adopted from Dogs Trust is microchipped, vaccinated and vet checked. If your new dog is not already neutered at the time of adoption, you will go home with a voucher of €150 towards the cost of neutering a male or €200 towards the cost of spaying a female dog at a local veterinary practice. You will also receive a starter bag of food, a collar and lead. Once they're at home, you'll be able to access advice from the centre team if you need to.
