Meet Paw Paw Walter: The Southern Gentleman Still Searching for Home Paw Paw Walter is celebrating a bittersweet milestone—one year in rescue , still waiting for a forever family to call his own. At eleven years young, this sweet senior is the definition of a true Southern gentleman. COULD TODAY BE THE DAY HIS NEW FAMILY SEES HIM? After spending his first nine years roaming the streets of a small WV town, Paw Paw charmed everyone he met but never found a family to settle down with. Now, he’s hoping his second anniversary will be spent in a loving home—not a rescue. Why Paw Paw Stands Out Paw Paw walks with a slight drag to his rear paw, a badge of resilience from an old, untreated injury. But don’t let that fool you—his spirit is unbreakable, and his signature smile never fades. He has bee cleared by the wonderful Dr Howe-Smith at Haven Animal Health Services - Home of Petpt and only requires a couple of affordable medications daily. He’s easygoing and low-maintenance: regular meals (he can sniff out a cookie from a mile away!), a couple of leisurely strolls each day, and a soft bed, he is a master napper are all he needs to be content. Paw Paw is a social butterfly, getting along with dogs, kids, and people alike. But he’s just as happy being your one-and-only companion—people are truly his jam. He does not currently live with cats but his gentle nature suggests he would cohabit peacefully with a feline friend. A Gentle Soul with a Comical Streak Paw Paw’s gentle nature is matched only by his knack for comedy. He’s been known to get himself into a pickle or two—like the time he got stuck in a plant stand in his foster home. His clumsy antics are sure to bring laughter and joy to your life. House trained and trustworthy, Paw Paw doesn’t need a crate as long as his environment is “Paw Paw-proofed”—just keep food out of reach and plant stands off the floor! What Paw Paw Needs A loving home where he can be himself: laid back, affectionate, and occasionally silly. Someone who appreciates a good Southern gentleman—loyal, dignified, and always ready to greet you with a wag and a grin.
