Walter is a 1-year-old sugarcube shepherd-mix powered by joy, zoomies and a whole lot of heart. He lives for people, praise and being wherever the fun is! He’s still a big puppy, so his excitement sometimes pops out as enthusiastic hellos but he’s learning the art of sit, wait and polite greetings with treats and guidance. Walter is going to be an absolute star. He’ll thrive with an active human who’s ready for walks, adventures and helping a young dog grow into his best self. This heckin’ handsome boy is sunshine on legs and jubilee wrapped in fur, a people-loving sidekick who’s eager to learn and always up for the next thing. Tabitha and Walter are both available for adoption at the Española Animal Shelter, 160 Hamm Pkwy., 505-7474003.
