Walter

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.
