Walter's Story
The biographical information provided is correct to the best of our knowledge while the animal is in our care or includes what may have been provided by a previous owner. We strive to be honest and accurate, but animals can change their personalities and behavior when they settle into a new home. IDR+ makes no guarantees based on the information we observe and provide.<br/><br/>Walter is a “13-ish” year-old Yorkie Cairn mix who somehow ended up at an intake shelter and was running short on time. We’ve got a soft spot for senior guys like him, so of course we scooped him up.<br/><br/>His age is honestly just our best guess—he could be 11, he could be 16. Only Walter knows, and he’s not telling. What we do know is that he’s a little scruffy, a lot sweet, and probably can’t see perfectly—but don’t tell him that. He gets around just fine and prefers to take life at a slow, snack-based pace. Walter moves at one speed: leisurely. If there were medals for slow strolls and extra-long naps, he’d have a full trophy case.<br/><br/>Walter has really taken to his foster dad—he’s a loyal little shadow who follows him from room to room and even “chats” with him when he wants something, using the softest little whimper to make his requests known.<br/><br/>He’s good with other calm dogs, fine with cats, and would probably be okay with gentle, respectful kids. Mostly, he’s just a sweet, quiet little dude looking for someone to hang out with and spoil him for the rest of his golden years.<br/><br/>If you’ve ever wanted a low-maintenance roommate who naps 90% of the day and doesn’t judge your TV choices, Walter’s your guy.
