My name is
Walnut!

Meet Walnut, a 30 lb., 1 year old Mini Aussie mix in search
of his forever home. Despite his young age, Walnut has
already been through a lot, which has made him a bit
nervous and wary of new situations.

Though Walnut is
working super hard on becoming a brave boy, he’ll need
someone who is willing to be patient as he adjusts to his
new environment. Once he opens up (which doesn’t
take long!), Walnut is the most affectionate and cuddly
boy there is! He loves belly rubs, chewing on bones
(any kind, he’s not picky!), and wiggling his whole self all
over you!

Walnut has also very courageously overcome
his fear of leashes and enjoys taking long walks where
he can continue to work on his leash manners. Walnut does not like the crate, but his foster has no issues allowing him free roam of the house while gone. He enjoys being with other dogs and would do well in a home that already has another furry friend to play with!

Interested adopters should be prepared to continue helping Walnut feel confident when on his own.
