Waldo

Meet Waldo — our one-of-a-kind survivor<br/><br/>Waldo is a handsome 1-year-old Pitt-Heeler mix with a heart of gold and a story of strength. This gentle soul has been through more than most — he’s a distemper survivor, which left him with some neurological quirks and a little extra wobble (dance prance) in his step. But what really sets him apart isn’t what he’s been through... it’s how much love he still has to give.<br/><br/>Once a likely feral dog, Waldo’s world has been scary and unpredictable — but he’s learning what it means to feel safe, one day and one treat at a time. He’s still shy with strangers, but with his foster, he’s a total goofball: jogging everywhere he goes, prancing through the house, and proudly hogging every blanket and fuzzy pillow he can find.<br/><br/>Waldo is looking for a very special person — maybe that’s you?<br/>He needs a calm, patient, and loving home where safety and routine come first. Someone who:<br/>Feels rewarded by earning trust, not instant affection<br/>Can provide a secure yard and careful handling (he will bolt if scared — he earned his name that way!)<br/>Understands that treats = love in Waldo’s world<br/>Enjoys cozy nights in and slow progress that leads to a lifetime bond<br/><br/>Waldo enjoys other dogs and could thrive with a confident canine buddy. Cats? Waldo LOVES cats, even if they don't always understand him.<br/><br/>He may never be the dog who greets every stranger or walks perfectly at heel, but he’ll be your dog — loyal, silly, tender, and true. The kind of love that feels hard-won and absolutely worth it.<br/><br/>Waldo is looking for his Forever, or a new or even a part-time foster so we can get him used to, and more confident with, more people. If you can offer patience, safety, and a whole lot of heart, Waldo is waiting for you. Learn more or apply to meet him at EAPL.com. His adoption fee is $375
