When Dave and I began Almost Home Foster & Rescue, we had stated that we would always try to help those furbabies that were “located in our own backyard.” We had been tagging, pulling, and saving so many dogs from the Southern states, “trying to save them all,” a feat that we quickly learned, is not possible, but when we were approached and asked to help those in Minnesota, or bordering states, we couldn’t, and wouldn’t, “Just say ‘NO’!”
Walter, along with, Dollie, Trixie, Lillie, Rusty, Mollie Jr, Punkin and Opal, proved to be one of those times. Located just a few miles from us, breeding had gone awry. The original pups were not altered. Then a number of major surgeries took place with one partner, unable to work, the family dynamics fell apart, money was tight, and the puppers were pregnant. The breeding got out of control and we were sought out to help.
Walter was in the second group of pups to arrive at Almost Home Foster MN License #132328. Walter, along with his brother Rusty, had a little different Breeding background. Momma is a Shih Tzu/Poodle mix and his Poppa is a Chihuahua/Dachshund mix. This combination gave Walter an explosive-bun hair personality all its own. Walter is quick to trust and is very approachable, and he is going to make a truly lovable, furry, family member.
Walter found his furever home and family this past weekend. Emily and her daughter Nora were quite smitten with Walter and were ecstatic about the training days ahead. He has a large, securely fenced yard and family members that work from home. Walter hit the jackpot with his new family.
Thank you, Emily and Nora, for giving Walter the home and family that he deserves. We are furever grateful.
