About dogs named Walter

The following are 30 profiles of dogs named Walter from our database of 330 dogs with the name Walter.

• “I am an almost 2 year old sweet, smart, playful golden retriever. I love water but I don’t jump n the pool I have my own splash pad. I am happiest when on top of my Humans and my Mom says I’m the sweetest most obedient boy she’s ever had.“

  — Melisa R.

• “Walter is a three and a half year old cattle dog, Belgian Malinois and Great Pyrenees mix. He loves hiking and playing in on the banks of the water.“

  — Katherine F.

• “I love hanging out on my ottoman, basking in the sun in the backyard and the occasional trip to the dog park. I enjoy swimming, but in moderation. Pizza, cheese and beef jerky are my favorite snacks.“

  — Andrea F.

• “Walter is a sweet boy and very attached to his humans. He loves to explore new spaces, even when his little brother Rooster gets in the way, and is typically always ready to play.“

  — Maris G.

• “Hi, I'm Walt. I'm a little anxious, but I still like other dogs my size. Big dogs make me a little nervous. I'm sooooo full of energy and can't help but run & jump and I like to swim and play fetch. I like to have mom and dad in sight wherever I go.“

  — Jenny H.

• “My name is Walter. I am a 15 week old pug. My favourite things to do are play with my toys, go for walks, and find leaves and sticks to carry around. I love all people, especially when the stop and give me a pet. I’m still little, so sometimes other dogs scare me, but it’s okay after I warm up to you.“

  — Avery E.

• “I just turned four and am still very playful. My mom takes me to daycare 1-2x per week and I love to play and rumble around the yard with all the other dogs there. I’m a pit bull and my favorite friends are working class dogs who are athletic and enjoy running and some wrestling! Though I can’t run as fast, I’m good at finding a short cut and catching up! I don’t care for water play or fetch really - I’ll pretend to fit in with the group, but I’d rather just romp around and wrestle with my friends. There are some small dogs that I like to play with, like the frenchie who always chases me when I poke him, and the little daschound who likes to chill in the shade and chew bones with me. My sister is a 12 year old pittie so she doesn’t play as much with me, so I need new friends to hang out with. I love my mom and prefer to be within eye sight of her at all times, but I will adventure a little as long as I know she’s still there.“

  — Michele A.

• “Hi my name is Walter and my mom is Liz. I'm a very happy and hyper puppy. I love to go for walks and my favorite treat is cheese. I love other people and dogs. I'm very spoiled and my mom drives everyone at work crazy talking about me.“

  — Elizabeth L.

• “A happy-go-lucky demon. He's pretty skittish around new people, but once he warms up to you--hes a cuddle monster. Probably a dauschund/ Chihuahua mix“

  — Pat S.

• “Walter is a Lab Pei, recently adopted and in need of some space to run!“

  — Amanda M.

• “An absolute ham. Surprisingly energetic and clever for the breed, goofball personality. Big smile, loves playing with all sizes and breeds, but moreso ones that are closer to his size. A bumbling bowling ball who loves to make friends with everyone.“

  — Lauren S.

• “Ruff ruff! I’m Walter. I live with my mom and dad in an apartment, so thank you so much for letting me run around in your backyard for a little bit!“

  — Shellie S.

• “I am a Goldendoodle and I am 1 years old. I love playing fetch and running crazily.“

  — Cameron O.

  — Kaitlyn S.

• “Walter is almost 14 years old now and has a heart condition for which he is being treated. He also has liver and gallbladder conditions for which he is being treated. At this time, we are not sure if cancer is involved, but he is being treated with oral medicines to control symptoms.“

  — Peggy M.
