Walter's Story
Hi, I’m Walter… the Snuggly, Quirky, Bed-Unmaking Gentleman You've Been Waiting for!<br/>Hello there, future favorite human!<br/>I’m Walter — a 1.5-year-old, 19-pound Boston Terrier/Chihuahua mix with a crooked little tail that deserves its own movie deal. I’m adorable, charming, and slightly dramatic in all the best ways. I'm looking for my forever home with a mom and without young kids under 8, or other dogs.<br/>Let me tell you why I’m basically perfect:<br/>House Training:<br/>Flawless. I don’t have accidents. Ever. I take great pride in my bathroom etiquette.<br/>Sleeping Habits:<br/>I can sleep in a kennel… but honestly, why would I when your bed exists?<br/>I will even unmake the bed myself just so I can burrow in and snuggle right next to you. It’s a service I provide.<br/>Walking & Yard Life:<br/>I walk nicely on a leash and enjoy little adventures.<br/>A fenced yard would be amazing for me — I love to trot, explore, and show off my tail - but it's not required if you can meet me on leash.<br/>Important Safety Note:<br/>I like to be close to my people — very close — which means I can be underfoot.<br/>Because of that, I’m not a great match for anyone who uses a cane or walker or needs steady footing.<br/>I’m also a bit too enthusiastic for very young kids, so homes with children 8+ are best. It does take me extra time to get used to guys, so a woman as my primary caregiver would be ideal.<br/>My Voice:<br/>Yes, I bark sometimes. I’m a small guy, but I like to let you know what’s happening around us. It’s not excessive — just my way of providing commentary. A little reassurance or distraction helps me settle quickly.<br/>Food:<br/>I have some food allergies, but don’t worry — my foster mom cracked the code.<br/>I do fantastic on a home-cooked venison and rabbit diet. Stick with those, and I’m healthy, happy, and handsome.<br/>What I’m Looking For:<br/>Someone who loves couch time and bedtime snuggles<br/>Someone who wants a loyal shadow (that’s me, everywhere you go)<br/>Someone who will keep me on my special food<br/>Someone without tiny kids and without mobility challenges<br/>Someone who wants a sweet, silly, affectionate best friend who will adore them<br/>If you want a dog who will make you laugh, warm your bed, follow you everywhere, and love you with his whole heart… then hi. It’s me.<br/>Applications are now being accepted through WBTR at:<br/>http://www.wisconsinbostonterrierrescue.com/. I'm told there's a $400 adoption fee, and you can email wbtradoption@gmail.com with any questions. <br/>Love,<br/>Walter and his fabulous crooked tail
Hi, I’m Walter… the Snuggly, Quirky, Bed-Unmaking Gentleman You've Been Waiting for!
Hello there, future favorite human!
I’m Walter — a 1.5-year-old, 19-pound Boston Terrier/Chihuahua mix with a crooked little tail that deserves its own movie deal. I’m adorable, charming, and slightly dramatic in all the best ways. I'm looking for my forever home with a mom and without young kids under 8, or other dogs.
Let me tell you why I’m basically perfect:
House Training:
Flawless. I don’t have accidents. Ever. I take great pride in my bathroom etiquette.
Sleeping Habits:
I can sleep in a kennel… but honestly, why would I when your bed exists?
I will even unmake the bed myself just so I can burrow in and snuggle right next to you. It’s a service I provide.
Walking & Yard Life:
I walk nicely on a leash and enjoy little adventures.
A fenced yard would be amazing for me — I love to trot, explore, and show off my tail - but it's not required if you can meet me on leash.
Important Safety Note:
