Walter is a 2 1/2 year old Dalmatian mix. I came across Walter on petfinder. Walter just had that look that said "please help me"... He was laying on his bed in a cage and he just looked so sad and his eyes told a very sad story. We found out Walter had been scheduled to be euthanized on a Thursday..We called on Wednesday. The shelter said they would hold him. Thank Goodness!! Walter was transfered then to an animal hospital were it was found he had a skin infection. Walter was on antiobiotics and was hospitalized until transport could be arranged. The transport went wonderful and Walter was everybody's sweetheart the whole trip! From Kentucky to Pennsylvania this boy stole the hearts of every transport help he met along his journey! Now, Walter is a happy sweet boy just wanting a home to hang out in! The shelter staff said they thought he was housebroken because he would let them know he had to potty, and they were right!! He is also good with cats and other dogs! If you would like to meet with Walter please give us a call! He'd love to be able to have his own home for the holidays!

Update 4/3/08:

Sadly, Walter is still looking for someone to love. Walter is now 3 yrs old and He's been kenneled in a safe, loving environment for 4 MONTHS but he's getting very depressed and stays curled up on his bed. He is very loving, loves to run and play and it hurts us to see him this way!! He needs a foster or permanent HOME as soon as possible. More about him...

He is not perfect - but neither are we. He is very easy going, loves people and other dogs. He is goofy, a clown, lovable, playful and very affectionate. He is housebroken but will mark for the first day. (we are finding it's not uncommon for males to do this for a SHORT period of time) He probably has some hound in him. We think it adds to his charm and his soft, lovable look. If left to his own devices, and there is a promising weak link in a fence, he will attempt to get out and take a stroll. We suggest he be in a home where he is leash walked so he, and his nose, get the stimulation and exercise they need. He will not hurt a cat intentionally but sees them as an interactive toy. So, unless you own a 50 pound cat who can even the playing field, we prefer that he not be in a home with cats.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE!! Some one give this boy a chance??
