Walter 0573's Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet Walter Walter is the definition of a gentle soul. This sweet boy came to Fierce Love Rescue from a local animal shelter in West Virginia, and from the moment he arrived, he’s made it clear that his favorite thing in the world is people. Truly — he loves everyone (including other animals!) and hasn’t met a single soul he doesn’t get along with. Walter is likely partially deaf, but that doesn’t slow him down one bit. What he does hear loud and clear is love, kindness, and the sound of you sitting down on the couch — because that’s exactly where he wants to be. He’s a certified couch potato who would happily spend the day napping beside you (or better yet, on you). He’s wonderfully velcro in the best way: always nearby, always ready to sit on your lap, and always eager for affection. If he feels he’s not getting quite enough pets, he’ll politely “talk” to you to remind you. Walter is also food motivated, which makes him extra charming and easy to bond with. He doesn’t need long walks or lots of stairs — he’s perfectly content with a calm, cozy lifestyle and being close to his humans. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who just wants to love you and share your couch, Walter may be your perfect match. 100% of every adoption fee is used to rescue and care for homeless animals. Please consider donating to help us more rescue animals.

Fierce Love Rescue's Adoption Policy

The first step in adopting an animal is to complete the online Adoption Application. Completing the Adoption Application does not guarantee that you will be allowed to adopt from FLR. It also does not guarantee (should you be approved to adopt) that you will be able adopt a specific animal, as our animals are typically adopted fairly quickly. If at the end of the approval process, you are approved to adopt from FLR, you may then contact individuals fostering specific animals to find out more about an animal and/or to set up a meet. There are several stages in FLR's adoption-approval process: 1. You complete and submit the Adoption Application. 2. FLR reviews your application, calling your personal references as well as your veterinary references. 3. Once the reference checks are complete, FLR will contact you to schedule a Home Visit. 4. During the Home Visit, the FLR representative will ask to be shown around your home, talk with you about your application, and answer any questions your may have. 5. Once the Home Visit is complete, the FLR representative submits his/her assessment to the Adoption Coordinator for a final decision regarding whether or not your application will be approved. 6. You will be notified when a final decision is reached. The entire approval process may take between two and three weeks, depending on your availability and our workload. Please keep in mind that FLR is an all-volunteer workforce comprised of people who dedicate some of their free time to saving animals. We try very hard to process each application in a timely manner, but sometimes life gets in the way. If you are concerned about the status of your application, please email the Adoption Coordinator at adoption-coordinator@fierceloverescue.org.
