These girls are getting big and they are so sweet. They are still looking for their forever families. In the meantime, we need to split them up as they are becoming a bit much for their Foster. Is anyone able to foster two or three of them until they find their new homes?

🚨🐾 WALTER HERE. I’M ABOUT TO BE A LITTLE DRAMATIC, BUT I HAVE A VERY GOOD REASON. 🐾🚨

Hey, Internet. It’s me, Walter. 🐶

I’m 75 pounds of handsome, approximately 2.5 years into my rescue journey(which is my entire freaking life), and currently accepting applications for my new roommate (must provide the living space). The position comes with ONE (1) VERY GOOD DOG and some pretty important terms and conditions. 👇

First, a little about me. 💙

💦 I LOVE splash pads. Seriously. You bring the water, I’ll bring the enthusiasm. You would also be expected to bring the snacks.

👩🏻 👯‍♀️I can be a little slower to warm up to the fellas, so a patient lady or a fabulous le***an couple might just be my cup of tea! ☕️💅

🧘‍♀️I do yoga, I will literally teach classes for you and your lady friends. Yoga is the slow stretching thing and usually ending in a nap, right? I am a professional at naps.

🐶 I can hang out with other dogs, but I prefer to be the only pet in my house. I’m not interested in sharing my personal belongings, thankyouverymuch. I have boundaries. I’m a mature gentleman. 🧐

🦴 Toys and treats? Mine. We can discuss this in therapy. 🛋️

👶👦👧 Kids? Have you seen the state of our country?! We don’t need to be raising children in this environment. I’ll be all the kid you ever need. ✍️Sign me up as your beneficiary, power of attorney, guardian of your trust; I’ve got you.

🚓If you’re looking for protection there is seriously nothing more terrifying than 75lbs of pure sculpted muscle standing in the doorway staring down an intruder. 🕦You can count on me to watch your six (and your twelve, three, nine and all the numbers between) while we hike or while we take those midnight walks you’ve been wanting to start doing.

🤧 I have allergies because apparently being this handsome wasn’t enough work already so they tried to take me down a peg. 🚨NEWS FLASH: it didn’t work.

❤️ And lately, I’ve had some medical concerns, including a seizure, so I need a safe place where someone can keep an eye on me. Not like ALL the time, it doesn’t need to be weird, just like a lot of the time.

Now, here’s where things get awkward. 🫠

I’ve been in rescue for 2.5 YEARS. TWO. AND. A. HALF. YEARS. I’ve been boarded for 2 YEARS. TWO. YEARS.

Do you know how many splash pads a guy could have visited in that time?!

And now, I urgently need a foster home. I can’t return to the facility where I’ve been staying, and my rescue humans are scrambling to find me somewhere safe.

I’m not asking you to marry me. (Unless you’re into that. 💍)

I’m just asking for a chance to show you what you’ve been missing for the last two and a half years.

🏡 CAN YOU FOSTER OR ADOPT ME?

If you foster; : Here’s the best part: My rescue, The Barking Lot Dog Rescue, covers ALL my foster expenses, including food, a kennel, and medical care!

If you adopt: You provide the home. I’ll provide the face. Together, we could be an absolutely iconic duo or trio. 🐾✨

Incase you forgot already, I need to be the only pet in the home, where I can assure the safely of my things. I also need someone who understands that I’m actually just a tiny lap dog who wants to be loved.

Can’t foster? That’s okay! I won’t even be mad. (Okay, maybe a little. I’m a dog. We can be dramatic.)

🐾 SHARE THIS POST.
🐾 TAG YOUR SINGLE FRIENDS.
🐾 TAG THAT COUPLE WITH THE QUIET HOUSE.
🐾SEND THIS TO SOMEONE WHO HAS BEEN SAYING THEY WANT A DOG.

I’M BEGGING YOU TO BE A LITTLE NOSY ON MY BEHALF. 📣

Somewhere out there is a person who needs a Walter in their life. They just haven’t found me yet!

And if you can’t be my person, you could be the person who HELPS ME FIND MY PERSON. Think about how long you could hold that over their head, huh??❤️

With love, questionable toy-sharing skills, and a whole lot of hope,

WALTER 🐶💋
75 lbs of potential. 2.5 years of waiting. Zero interest in paying rent. 🤷‍♂️🐾

🚨Walter needs your help!!🚨

UPDATE 10/8: Heidi’s village will not allow Walter to come back to the facility at all. We are scrambling trying to find a place for him to go. Other day cares can’t provide long term care and he can’t stay at the emergency vet. PLEASE HELP!!!

Walter has been in our rescue for 2.5 yrs due to needing to be the only pet in the home. Walter has been boarding at Heidi’s Village for about 2 years and they keep a watchful eye over him.

This morning we got the call that he had a pretty severe seizure lasting about a minute. 😔He is in their clinic for observation today. The concern is that the staff is there for about 18 hours but during those 6 hours that he’s alone he could have a seizure.

Walter needs an emergency foster where he can be the only pet or have a space to call his own in the home if there are other pets. He needs someone who is able to monitor him for seizures during this time. If he could stay in said foster home that would be great long term as well.

Walter is having a blood panel done today for basic values as well as valley fever, heartworm and tick testing. We need to fundraise for him as well due to having another big medical case with Warren needing cardiologist and possibly surgery.

💜Please complete a foster application if you’re able to foster him: https://airtable.com/appFo2l6Bz9kPC190/shrGiGe25PD4Svqb5

It’s cardiology time! Some of you may remember our first litter and Harry. He had a grade 6 heart murmur requiring heart surgery when we were just starting out. We are in the same boat again with Warren. Warren is a chihuahua mix baby. He was born on 6/28/26 and is about 2.5 pounds right now. He is a spunky boy but with his heart condition he gets worn out very quickly and has to take a break. He loves to be carried around and currently identifies as the smallest little hot dog.

Warren went to get neutered a couple weeks ago and the vet noted a significant heart murmur so we cancelled his surgery and brought him to our primary vet at Hillside Animal Hospital to see the incredible Dr. Roice. She confirmed his heart murmur is a grade 5 borderline grade 6.

The next step in Warren’s journey is to see the cardiologist for an exam and echocardiogram. He is scheduled for 10/12 and that visit will likely be about $1000 at Thrive Specialty and Emergency with Dr. Miller. This visit will determine if he is a candidate for surgery, if he needs surgery we can expect it to cost upwards of $6000 just like Harry.

We always do anything and everything we can for our dogs to live happy and healthy lives. With that being said we are asking for your help in donations to make this possible. Any contribution is greatly appreciated and we can provide donations receipts for any amounts. Please donate to Warren’s care if you can, if you can’t please share his story to reach as many people as possible.

In addition to Warren’s care we will still need to continue caring for all of our other dogs in the rescue so we really need your help.

We received a plea from someone with 18 dogs who will be homeless tomorrow. We do not have these dogs, don’t know the sexes. Some need medical attention. We do not have the resources to help right now. We have no open fosters nor the funds for the necessary, immediate medical attention that at least one of them have. If there are any rescues that are able to help, please reach out and we will pass on the owners information. Refused by MCACC. Located at n Avondale.
