Walter's Story

Walter is an estimated nine-year-old, 10.5-pound, small Shih Poo (DNA test confirmed) gentleman with a freshly trimmed coat that’s ridiculously soft—seriously, you’ll want to pet him nonstop… and he’ll happily remind you if you forget. A gentle nudge is his polite way of saying, “Hey, human, don’t quit petting now.”<br/><br/>Despite having significant visual impairment and being a bit hard of hearing, Walter gets around surprisingly well. He enjoys his walks, moves with confidence, and follows his people by sound, scent, and heart. When you call him, he’ll do his best to respond—he just might need a second to figure out where you are.<br/><br/>Walter is currently living with dogs, cats, and respectful kids and does well with all of them. However, due to his limited vision, he’s easily startled by fast, unpredictable movements, so a home without children really would be best.<br/><br/>At night, he’s a dream—snuggling up in bed and sleeping soundly until morning. During the day, he’s calm, affectionate, and wonderfully easygoing.<br/><br/>If you’re looking for a gentle senior with tons of love, softness, and snuggles to give, Walter might just be your perfect match.

Puppy Mill Rescue Team 's Adoption Policy
ADOPTION POLICIES The Puppy Mill Rescue Team’s dogs are placed into adoptive homes within 60 miles of the foster home. We have foster homes in Rochester, NY, Buffalo, NY, and Macedonia, OH. When applying for a specific dog please check the profile to see where the dog is located. If you are not in this area and are looking to adopt, we recommend that you visit our Rescue Partners area or Petfinder.com to locate a rescue in your area. A legally binding Adoption Agreement must be signed at the time a dog is placed. The adoption donation varies and is included in the dog’s description on the website as well as in the Adoption Agreement. Adoption donations are not negotiable and payment must be made in full prior to or at the time of the placement of the dog. Please read prior to submission of an application for adoption. All potential homes must complete our adoption process which includes an application, meet and greet, home inspection and veterinary reference. Applicants must provide veterinary references if they have previously owned a pet and contact veterinary facilities to authorize release of their records to a PMRT representative upon request. Applicants who rent their homes must verify that they are permitted to have a dog and provide a landlord contact number on the adoption application. Landlords will be contacted in every case, no exception. The primary adopter must be at least 21 years old. We are solely committed to the dogs accepted into the rescue. We want to find them loving, permanent homes and go to great lengths to place the right dog into the right family. We reserve the right to decline any adoption based on what we feel is in the best interest of the dog.
