Walter's Story

Meet Walter! He's a 10ish year old 15lb gentleman who doesn't ask for much! He likes to doze in a comfy bed and get the occasional scratch and treat. He's great with other dogs (basically ignores them) and sleeps through the night. If you can open your home and heart to loving an older dog, Walter will repay you with loyalty and love. His foster says: "Walter is a very sweet senior (10+) looking for a soft bed, some good scratches, and smells to sniff. I believe he's quite vision and hearing impaired, but walks well on a leash and he learned to navigate his new home quickly. Walter’s friendly with my 4yr old nervous chi-mix, Pappy, though mostly just indifferent. He’s been busy getting familiar and relaxing. Pappy is pleased with how little attention Walter pays to him. Walter hasn’t shown in interest in toys, but loves a treat. I only heard his voice once when he barked after testing his feelings towards crate sleeping. He was not a fan, and prefers a bed or some blankets on the floor, where he slept quietly all night. I gave him a bath and he didn't mind at all :) Walter doesn't need much. A comfortable place to hang out, some yard strolls or slow neighborhood walks, and a patient, loving family for his twilight of life. He would make a great, calm, quiet companion for anyone looking to provide an old man some much deserved love." INTERESTED IN ADOPTING?

True North Pet Rescue Mission's Adoption Policy

First Step: Submit Your Application True North does not issue blanket approvals, we consider the needs of each specific dog when reviewing applications. If you don't have a specific dog in mind when applying, please note this on your application so that we can keep this in mind when reviewing. We require home photos for all applicants, but can accept a video replacement. Please enter as much detail as possible on your application, this helps us better understand what you are looking for and how this relates to the needs of the dog you have applied for. For puppies under 12 weeks, we require a care plan. This includes a plan for when the dog will be left alone, as puppies younger than 12 weeks should not be left alone longer than 2-3 hours at a time. Please Note: Due to the high volume of applications we receive, it is not always possible to reply to everyone. If your application is approved, you can expect the following. Second Step: Application Review & Approval 1. If your application is approved, an email will be sent connecting you with the dog's current foster. At this time, you may schedule a mutually convenient time to meet. 2. After meeting, you have 24 hours to confirm if you would like to move forward with finalizing the adoption. After this, if we have not heard from you, we will begin scheduling other meets. 3. If you choose to finalize, we will issue an adoption contract via email. Once the signed agreement has been electronically returned along with the adoption fee (which will be disclosed prior to adopting), you will be all set to coordinate for pick-up with the foster! Adoption Fees: Our adoption fees are comparable to those found amongst other well-known rescues in the city. We only accept electronic payments for adoption fees.
