Meet walter fitzgerald
Looking for a new best friend who is the definition of cool, calm, and collected? Meet the handsome social butterfly, the dog who makes leash walking look like an Olympic sport!
Walter is the definition of a chill vibes only companion. Whether you’re looking for a shadow to follow you from room to room or a partner to just coexist while you work, he is your man! He’s got that magical balance of being able to turn on the play when it’s time to romp, but he’s just as happy to find a cozy spot and watch the world go by. He is truly special because of his emotional intelligence he knows exactly how to read the room (and the other dogs in it).
Check out his debut film right here! You won't want to miss those tail wags in action!

While we never know for sure without a crystal ball (or a DNA test!), we think he's a German Shepherd Mix and a perfectly sized blend of handsome! He’s got that sturdy, athletic build that makes him easy to take anywhere but substantial enough for a good cuddle. He’s the ideal medium size big enough to keep up on walks, but compact enough to not take up the entire sofa. As with all our rescue favorites, his breed is a bit of a mystery, but his heart is 100% purely love.
He is currently living the good life in a foster home and is absolutely crushing his "good boy" curriculum! He is already crate trained and potty trained, making the transition into your home a total breeze. He’s been a perfect gentleman in his crate, even when there’s a lot of action going on around him. He’s a dream in the car and ready to be your co pilot for any weekend errands or coffee runs.
If you already have a pup, you’re in luck this guy is dog social with a capital S! He is fantastic at reading other dogs' body language and knows how to stand his ground with a polite please give me space when things get too rowdy. He would do best with a medium energy dog sibling who enjoys a little playtime but also appreciates a good afternoon nap.
While he loves almost everyone, he’s decided that cats are just a little too exciting for his taste. Walter is looking for a feline free sanctuary. He’d much rather spend his time focusing all his love and attention on his humans and his canine pals!
Whether you have a big backyard or a cozy city apartment, this guy will fit right in. Because he is an absolute pro on a leash (seriously, he practically heels himself!), he doesn't need a massive yard to stay happy. He’s just as happy strolling through the neighborhood as he is lounging on a rug. He’s the type of dog who makes life feel easier just by being there.
In short, he’s a polite, kennel trained, leash walking expert who is just waiting for the right family to lead. If you’re looking for a dog who is smart, social, and stylish, you’ve found him!

Before the adoption is finalized, you will meet your pet through a video call, creating a fun and personalized experience!
The adoption fee is $1,200.00 and includes all vetting (DAPP with booster, Bordetella, Rabies vaccine, multiple broad spectrum deworming treatments, spay/neuter, flea prevention, a 12 month heartworm preventative injectable, heartworm test and treatment if needed, a microchip with free lifetime registration, a high quality nylon Martingale collar, a health certificate deeming the pup healthy for travel, cost of transport*, and priceless years of love and loyal companionship!
We proudly have over 17,000 successful adoptions and excellent Google Reviews:
https://g.co/kgs/UQ5Pyai We care deeply about creating lasting matches between dog and family for long term success, and take the time to ensure each adoption is a fit through our matchmaking process.
At our 2 acre Texas based property, we assess every animal with trainers on staff, we modify behavior as needed, and create individualized behavior plans to help prepare dogs for their future families including crate training, potty training, leash walking, etc. Our fosters are able to attend group training and socialization play groups helping them stay confident, well rounded, and adoption-ready. Our on-site trainers are dedicated to each dog’s growth and we enjoy seeing their progress!
We go above and beyond to ensure every animal receives exceptional care. Veterinarians consistently praise our medical standards. From routine care to advanced treatments, each dog receives personalized attention. Hard costs for a healthy dog range from $804-$920; heartworm-positive dogs or those needing specialized care can exceed $2,000+. Adoption fees help cover a portion of these expenses, but without government funding, we rely on fundraising to bridge the gap—ranging from $100–$1,000+ per dog.
Our adoption fees reflect the extensive care and resources that go into each animal we save. The adoption fee is a donation to the mission and goes far beyond getting a fully vetted pet.
It doesn’t stop there! Our adopters also receive these SPECIAL PERKS:
Extensive behavioral testing and information from trainers on our staff to ensure the perfect fit for your family
Discounts on Embark DNA test kit- $30 off of Breed ID test or $50 off of Breed ID plus Health test

The Greater Houston area faces one of the highest stray and overpopulation rates in the U.S. We’re a nonprofit on a mission—to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome dogs at risk, while promoting spay/neuter outreach in the community.
