Hi, I'm Walker! 🐾 At just 1 year young, I'm a striking black-and-white boy with Doberman Pinscher and Black Labrador Retriever in my family tree, and I weigh 58 lbs of pure personality. I came from the pound with an old broken hip. Which is funny cause I am not that old :( But I got it fixed (ok well the RESCUE peeps fixed my hip....) But I am doing so well after surgery that the vet is even impressed!!
I'm crate trained, affectionate, and loyal, and I get along well with dogs and with older children, so I'd do best in a home with kids who are old enough to keep up with me. 💛
I'm smart, playful, and a little mischievous, with a silly streak that keeps everyone laughing, but I have high energy and need an active lifestyle, so I'm not a good candidate for apartment living. 🏃
If you have room for an adventure buddy who will happily chase fun with you every day, come meet me! 🐶

Something to Consider:
Puppies don't train themselves
If you aren’t willing to train a puppy every single day, don’t get a puppy! It isn’t a one-shot deal. You have to be dedicated. And if you aren’t making progress – find someone who can help. Enroll in a puppy training class or hire a trainer. Most cities across the nation have some sort of availability for this kind of help and at different cost levels that would fit your budget.
Puppies are going to poop a lot and pee even more; chew on everything; bite everyone; scratch people and furniture; steal things; destroy something at some point; pull on the leash; not move at all on the leash; bark; cry; beg for attention; and the list goes on. You’re going to have to walk them, bathe them, pick up everything below waist height, buy new shoes, and most importantly: TRAIN THE PUPPY NOT TO DO THESE THINGS! Ultimately, it is your responsibility to teach your puppy that this behavior is unacceptable.
Puppies turn into dogs...
