Walter's Story

Meet Walter 💙<br/><br/>Walter is an estimated nine-year-old, 10.5-pound Shih Poo (DNA confirmed) with the softest freshly trimmed coat—seriously, once you start petting him, you won’t want to stop… and he’ll gently remind you if you do 😉<br/><br/>Walter may have limited vision (he sees out of one eye) and is a bit hard of hearing, but don’t let that fool you—there’s nothing “old” about him! He gets around with confidence, enjoys his walks, and is determined to keep up. He follows his people using sound, scent, and pure devotion, and when you call him, he’ll do his best to find you (he just might take a second!).<br/><br/>He’s house trained, easygoing, and a total snuggle bug. At night, he’s the perfect bed buddy, curling up and sleeping soundly until morning. During the day, he’s calm, affectionate, and happiest right by your side.<br/><br/>Walter is currently living with other dogs, but because he can be startled by sudden movements—and prefers not to share the spotlight—he’d truly thrive as your one-and-only in a quieter home without young children. He is OK with another dog if they co-exist, he lets them know he doesn't want to share.<br/><br/>If you’re looking for a loyal little companion with a big heart, gentle spirit, and just the right amount of sass, Walter is ready to be your devoted best friend 🐾<br/><br/>ADOPTION FEE: $200<br/>AN ACTUAL APPLICATION MUST BE SUBMITTED, NOT AN INQUIRY<br/>---------------------------------------<br/>Apply to adopt here:<br/>https://puppymillrescueteam.org/dog-adoption-application/<br/><br/>This dog is located in Clifton Springs NY.

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.
