Walter: Great Small Size Loyal fun dog!
I no longer can have animals and have to start on finding them new homes. This dog is Walter. He's such a wonderful little boy! He can be trained very easily as he listens to me very quickly and I've never trained him but he does listen. He's energetic, will love to play with you and your loved ones. He gets along with other dogs and animals unless they're both male then one may try to be dominate and fight and Walter isn't big enough to fight haha. He is not neutered, I rescued him off a major US highway scared to death. I did all I could for him for over 2 years. He loves me and I love him, but I cannot keep him and I need him to go to a good home, he deserves it. He will be your best bud forever. You can teach him to load up, or do whatever! He's got so much potential, he's a very smart little guy! He also has the best personality!
