WALNUT - MALTESE / TERRIER / MIXED (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Maltese / Terrier / Mixed (medium coat). Adoption Fee: $350. Meet Walnut, an 11‑pound, 5‑year‑old terrier mix with a sunny, joyful personality. Small in size but full of charm, he’s fun loving, cheerful, and eager to be part of your world. He takes his time making new friends, then adores you once you’re part of his pack. Walnut thrives on attention and playtime—fetch is a favorite—but he’s also wonderfully adaptable and happy to settle at your feet when you’re busy. He loves having his people home during the day and doesn’t do well when left alone for long periods, so an adopter who works from home or is home most of the time will be the best fit. Walnut has excellent house manners, is crate trained, knows sit and stay, waits politely at the door for walks, and listens well to a calm, confident leader. He’s alert and will bark when someone comes to the house, but he’s not food‑ or toy‑aggressive and respects boundaries like staying off certain furniture or waiting patiently at mealtimes. A steady, toddling walker, Walnut enjoys two 30‑minute walks each day plus a few short potty breaks and does not need a fenced yard. He’s been a one‑person dog and would be an ideal companion for a single adopter, though he may learn to do well with older, dog‑savvy kids with gentle socialization. He hasn’t lived with cats but enjoys his canine buddy in his foster’s fenced yard, where he proudly plays left field. Walnut loves learning and benefits from mental and physical enrichment, and his adorable habit of standing on his hind legs to get a better look at things hints he could be a natural for agility or other confidence‑building activities.
