He likes who he likes, and on the opposite spectrum, if he gets a feeling that he is not safe or welcomed, he will not want to interact. Walter is a loyal, loving, goofy, smart, kind-hearted lab. He deserves the absolute best - which includes an adopter who understands he needs to be checked in with routinely to see how he is coping and doing within any environment he is brought into, and never forced into situations that may make him feel unsafe.Story | Walter was found as a stray with his brother, Pluto, in Texas. He doted on his brother and was always watching over him, even when brought into a shelter. While in the shelter he watched over several other dogs and saw himself as their protector. His brother was adopted upon arrival in Colorado, and without a 'job' to do, and in a new place, Walter had to re-learn what was expected of him.

Adopt Paisley / Walter and Receive Paisley / Walter's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Paisley / Walter's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Paisley / Walter's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Paisley / Walter, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Paisley / Walter's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Paisley / Walter was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Paisley / Walter’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Paisley / Walter’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Paisley / Walter’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
