Adopter Walter

Walter is an affectionate Staffordshire Bull Terrier cross currently cared for at our Old Windsor centre. He is a sensitive dog who forms strong bonds with the people he trusts, he will need patient adopters who can support him as he adjusts to a new home. He can be nervous in unfamiliar environments, particularly on walks, but once he becomes familiar with the area his confidence improves significantly. With consistent routines and gentle reassurance, Walter begins to relax and show his true character. When he feels overwhelmed, Walter can display some over excitable behaviours. Because of this, he is best suited to a home with teenagers and above, where all members of the household can participate in his training and understand his emotional needs. Despite his worries, Walter has shown lovely social skills with most other dogs. He interacts in a friendly, playful manner, which will be beneficial as he continues to build confidence. Due to his sensitivities, Walter requires a home with a private, secure garden. This will provide him with a safe space to decompress, explore, and gain confidence at his own pace. With the right support, structure, and patience, Walter has the potential to become a loyal and loving companion.
