Walter's Story

Walter is an owner surrender. He knows basic command such as sit, down and shake. He is affectionate, enjoys playing with his squeaky toys and is food motivated. The activity in his previous home with 3 human brothers was too much for him and he we were told he snapped at one of the boys but did not break skin/bite. He does get along with other dogs in person but not while on leashes. Walter also startles easily with loud noises and is not a fan of fireworks. Walter is looking for a quieter home with low foot traffic and no young kids (older teenagers are ok). Walter is still a very playful and active guy so a home with an enclosed yard for him to run in or some way to exercise him would make him happiest. Walter is about 4-5 years old and 50 pounds. Please help Walter find the forever home he is searching for.<br/><br/>We do NOT ship our animals. All adoptive families must travel to us to meet their adoptive dog/cat.

One Step Closer Animal Rescue (O.S.C.A.R.)'s Adoption Policy
Our dogs and cats are not first come/first serve. We place pets with the home that is the best fit for them. Not all animals are good in all homes, whether it’s their personalities, nature, or breed. We base our decision on what’s best for the dog or cat and the family. Thank you for understanding! Our Shelter is now operating. However, please note that the shelter is NOT open to the public and is by appointment only and only for persons with approved applications on file. Some may ask, "Why isn't the shelter open for walk through visits? Why do I have to make an appointment to see the animals?" At O.S.C.A.R., one of our highest priorities is the health and well-being of the animals in our care. Unlike city shelters or pounds, whose residents are in place for a short time, as a no-kill shelter, our pets can be with us for a longer period of time. The shelter is the only safe place and home they know. When strangers, even well-meaning ones looking to adopt, walk through the shelter, it stresses our animals. We make appointments for potential adopters to meet our dogs either in our Bark Yard or one of our meeting rooms. We'll spend as much time as you need and introduce you to as many animals as you'd like to meet in order to make the best match and help you find the perfect new family member! Adoption Process 1. Fill out an application 2. Meet & Greet 3. Adoption contract & adoption fee
