📝 𝗩𝗼𝗹𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗲𝗿 𝗡𝗼𝘁𝗲𝘀: Ugh poor Walter, we see this same story all too often, and while understandable it’s unfortunate. Everyone wants the littles, and the bigs get left behind. It doesn’t help that he’s older too, but don’t let his age fool you! He’s still spunky and full of life. He’s 76lbs and actually a bit underweight. He greeted us with tail wags in the kennel and showed us his tricks. I didn’t check to see if he was an owner surrender or stray, but he was definitely owned by someone. He knows “sit” and shake” and had a “potty trained” sign on his kennel. He walked well on the leash and greeted Astro fenceline with polite sniffs outside. He was super friendly and gentle, even though he’s a big boy. He even made sure not to chomp on our fingers when taking treats. 🥲 Shepherds are such loving and loyal dogs and it breaks my heart he’s lost all he knows. I really hope this sweet guy makes it out!

📝 𝗦𝗵𝗲𝗹𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗡𝗼𝘁𝗲𝘀: Poor Walter came in with his old dachshund friend who was adopted pretty quickly, but Walter is still in the shelter. This has made him anxious and sad which results in him pacing, whining, and crying. He is actually a very sweet boy who loves attention and to give kisses. We know he's older and a big boy, but this big boy has big love to give for the rest of his life.

💜 Volunteer Notes:
I love this girl and she was excellent out in the runs. Back in the eval ward she was scared to get back into her small dark eval kennel and was begging me not to make her. This girl is stunning and extremely friendly but she doesn’t do well in the shelter environment. I’ll honestly be so sad if she doesn’t make it out tomorrow. She’s so amazing and just needs to get out of here and start her next chapter. Watch her videos in the comments.

🔹 Intake:
One large German Shepherd in the back. Officer standby.
