Walker is a silly, fun-loving boy who yearns for a grassy yard of his own. If rolling in the grass were an Olympic sport, Walker would hold the gold! When he's not rolling in the grass, Walker loves playing with his stuffed toys and taking long naps.

If you ask Walker 'where's your stuffie?' you'll be delighted to see him run to grab one to show you, then growl an invitation for you to try to get it away from him!

Despite that serious-sounding growl, when it comes to treats, Walker is the most delicate of treat takers! He's excellent at answering 'sit' and always takes treats very gently, using only his tiny front teeth. He can be very gentle for such a big dog! He approaches new people to sniff them and gets head scratches.

Walker is perfectly house-trained and free roams without incident. He doesn't mind spending hours alone napping while his family is out and about.

Walker is living in foster with two doggie siblings and is getting along well with them. He lays near one and they walk around the yard together. They go on leash walks together and he doesn't react at all to other dogs and cats they see. He's also comfortable receiving baths outside and with being brushed.

Get in touch to schedule a meet-up with this handsome boy! See more cute pictures and funny stories about Walker on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100095288003213

A Picture of Transport Success: Darla
