I was living in Glendale, AZ, had a Ragdoll cat Emma, & wanted a dog too. I found Walter on Petfinder-he had been picked up as a stray, was neutered & had been at Halo Pet Rescue for 3 months! I went to see him & they put us in a room with 1 chair for me. He wasn’t interested in me at the time; he only wanted to check out every corner & leave his mark. I said, “I’ll take him.” His fee was waived because he’d been there so long but I gave them a donation anyway. He sat in my lap on the way home, his head in my neck. When we got home & I opened the door, Emma leaped over the couch & ran up to him. They are forever pals. He’s not dog-friendly but loves people & cats. We went to obedience school & learned some manners & he is my loyal friend, protector of the house & a sweetie. ❤️ Eve (black cat) appeared one day under my car with an injured eye. I checked in the neighborhood & no one claimed her, so we did. She is blind in that eye but gets along fine. That’s my trio of rescues. Emma had come from a home with too many pets & needed some space. She is now 13, Eve is about 6, & Water about 7. Love love love them!
