Wally's Story

Say hello to Wally: a pit/husky mix with software of a malinois.<br/>Wally is playful and affectionate young guy who has literally grown up in shelters. All he has ever known are kennel walls and shelter routines. Despite his past, Wally has nothing but love and a desire to WORK! This guys toy and food drive is through the roof, and he loves playing with other rambunctious dogs. Think of a toddler on espresso at the park. His leash manners on the trail are fabulous due to the daily walks he’s received from a plethora of volunteers. His high energy working breed mentality definitely requires the right home! Let’s talk about what makes Wally... well, Wally. His toy drive? Through the roof. Food drive? Also through the roof. His enthusiasm for just about anything he considers valuable? You guessed it. THROUGH. THE. ROOF. This boy doesn’t just like rewards; he believes they are a way of life. Even his harness and leash are exciting enough to warrant a full celebration!<br/>Now, before you fall in love with those handsome eyes, let’s be honest: Wally is not looking for a couch-potato lifestyle. His high energy, working-dog mentality, and enthusiasm for high-value rewards mean he’ll need an adopter who understands drive, appreciates structure, and actually ENJOYS having a dog with a little extra horsepower. Continued training, impulse control, and appropriate outlets for his energy will be important for helping him become the best version of himself. Wally has the potential to thrive as an active hiking or sport dog. During his time with us, it hasn’t been hard to see how strong his desire to work and have a job is. This athletic guy would love to find a home that appreciates pups of his caliber. If you’re that kind of person, then come on by to meet Wally Wally has been neutered, chipped, and fully vetted.
