Walter's Profile

Hi, I’m Walter!

The staff at the OHS call me a Socialite. Did you know that a Socialite’s absolute favourite thing is hanging out with their people? They love being at the centre of attention and are excited to meet almost anyone. Socialites enjoy activities like joining in on family outings and going for leisurely walks, playing games like tug and fetch, and participating in training games! And while they might enjoy the occasional run or hike, they are usually content to stick around the neighbourhood. Most Socialites enjoy finishing off a day by settling down with a chew toy or puzzle feeder while you relax for the evening. So, if you like the company of a dog that will adore you and want to be involved in all of your activities, you’ll have lots of fun with a Socialite!

I am overweight, and I will need a veterinarian to oversee my weight loss plan to make sure I lose weight safely. I need a prescription veterinary diet and regular veterinarian visits to follow my progress.

I had a mass removed on my hind end, the surgery was curative for this mass, but new masses may arise in the future. This conditions should be monitored by a veterinarian.

I had some excessive gum tissue which was diagnosed as gingival hyperplasia and my gums should be monitored regularly by a veterinarian for any changes going forward.

I have a lipoma.

I am currently relaxing in a foster home as I wait for my forever family. Please contact an adoptions staff to book an appointment to meet me!

If you are interested in setting up an appointment to adopt me, please complete an adoption application at https://ottawahumane.ca/adopt/adoption-application/. Please be advised that although we do offer on-the-spot-adoptions, this is dependent on appointment schedules and cannot be guaranteed.
