Waldo came to APA! a very fearful boy. He had been rescued from being mistreated. Now in foster, he has learned that people can be very lovable, dogs can be fun to play with, and houses and yards can be very safe! He's become a very happy boy who loves being petted!

Waldo loves playing with two visiting dogs who come over with her foster's son. He's very gentle with them. He's also great with her 14- and 15-year-old grandsons. He's very polite and is trying hard to please his new human and furry friends.

He starts his day by going in his foster's yard to chase squirrels and find a stick to run around with. Then he comes in for a meal, waiting patiently for his foster mom to bring it. He hopes for her petting. Then he'll lounge on a dog bed nearby, chewing and snoozing. He doesn't climb on the couch with his mom or get in her lap.

Waldo LOVES his walks around the neighborhood. At home, he understands 'sit,' 'wait' and 'leave it' and comes when called. During the day he gazes out the window to monitor what's happening in the neighborhood. He is house-trained and does well snoozing in bed when his mom is away from home.

Waldo is a sweet pup that can fit into most homes. He doesn't mind being home alone so they can be away at work. He will love older kids who let him snooze in bed when he wants to, and he will enjoy a playful medium to large dog buddy. Come meet this lovable big boy!
Come meet your new best friend
