Adoptable Pet of the Week - Meet Wallie

Okay, let's get the vital stats out of the way and then I can tell you all about my friend Wallie. Walile is a male poodle mix (we think Bichon) of approximately 7 years of age. He weighs 19 pounds (could stand to lose a few —sorry Wallie, but it's true) and is neutered and potty trained.

How did Wallie end up with A Forever Home animal rescue? Well, certainly through no fault of his own. He was badly neglected by his previous owners and when they decided they didn't want to care for him any longer (not that they did much of that to begin with), they threw Wallie out of their car window at an animal shelter.  The shelter contacted AFH to come and rescue Wallie and the rest, as they say, is history.

Since then, Wallie has been lovingly cared for in a foster home as he waits to  find his new family. I had the pleasure of meeting Wallie last week. Wallie is a very sweet fella. You should know that due to Wallie's lack of attention in his past, he has developed cataracts and his vision has been affected. He's like a furry little Mr. Magoo.  That does not stop him from enjoying life and it certainly does not keep him from being a loving affectionate guy.

Oh, and don't pass Wallie by because of his age. Some dogs at age 7 are seniors, but poodles like to keep us company for a range of 12 to 15 years. Wallie deserves a great home with people who will treat him like part of the family. I promise you he will give as good as he gets. 

If you would like to set up a meeting with Wallie, please have your people contact his people at A Forever Home.  A Forever Home holds a weekly adoption event at the PetCo in Greenbriar shopping center  on Sundays from 1 to 4 p.m. Check ahead to see if Wallie will be making an appearance and come on over.
