What's the most endearing thing about your dog?: He greets everyone with a tail wag and a toy offering. He is also a fantastic snuggler.

What criteria are important to you when considering an adoptive family or home for your pet?: We are looking for a loving home that will provide Walt with a comfy place to nap and a fenced in yard to roam in occasionally. He does enjoy playing with other animals so other animals in the home is a plus, but not a requirement as he has been an only pet at various points in his life.

Is there anything else you'd like your pet's new family to know?: When I found Walt, he had a fully healed scar about 3 inches long on his back. Initial vet exam was inconclusive as to the cause but it has never caused any issues. He also has a few small fatty lipomas on his underside. All have been regularly checked by the vet with no issues or concerns. Walt would come to his new family with an XL crate, bed, bag of food, leash, harness, dog bowl, and misc. toys (if willing to take).
