Walnut

Meet Walnut, a charming 11lb companion with a truly sunny disposition. This fun-loving boy is cheerful, eager to please, and thrives on attention and playtime, with fetch being a particular favorite! Despite his zest for activity, Walnut is wonderfully adaptable. He's perfectly content to settle down at your feet when you're busy, happy just to be near you and be part of your world.

As a Maltese-Terrier mix, Walnut combines the affectionate nature of a Maltese with the lively spirit and alertness often found in Terriers. He boasts excellent house manners, is crate trained, and knows basic commands like 'sit' and 'stay'. He's a good walker on leash, enjoying his twice-daily 30-minute strolls, and has learned to wait patiently at the door. Walnut is also an attentive guardian, barking to alert you when visitors arrive, and he's respectful of boundaries like staying off furniture.

Walnut is a people-centric dog who thrives with companionship and does best when someone is home most of the day. He would be an ideal devoted sidekick for a single adopter, though with proper socialization, he could potentially flourish in a family setting with older children. He has not been exposed to living with cats or other dogs. Walnut doesn't require a fenced yard, as his walks provide ample exercise. This clever boy has even been spotted standing on his back legs for a better view, hinting at a natural talent for agility or other fun, confidence-building activities!
