WALL.E

HISTORY: Walle arrived as a stray at a high kill county shelter. He was an easy target to not make it out the front door due to his extreme shyness so we spoke up for him before it was too late.

Walle came to us from a high kill shelter. He was so frightened and would literally shake when you approached him. Being so shy, he was an easy target to not make it out so we spoke up for him.

Not to be confused with the robot from the 2008 movie, our Walle is the gentle and handsome hound mix you can find right here at CFC. Walle might be slightly reserved when you first meet him, but offer him a few yummy treats and some friendly conversation, and watch his shyness melt away. Despite his initial reservations, once Walle begins to trust you, you will be his friend forever. He will make some lucky person or family a fantastic, loyal companion.

Walle is more relaxed and laid back than many hounds who are ready to go and do and then go and do some more. Though he enjoys prancing in a fenced yard, he also loves to snuggle up on his bed and take it easy.

His ideal home would be on the quiet side with a family who will introduce him to all the wonderful things the world has to offer at a pace he’s comfortable with. A home with another well-balanced dog who could show him the “ropes” of the household would go a long way toward helping him settle in. In other words, a steady routine + a loving person with a pocketful of treats + a dog friend = one happy Walle.

Fall Update 2025: As many of you know Wallace has created a safe bubble in which he resides. Some may think he has a sad and lonely existence. However tiny his world may be, it is much larger than when we first met, and Walle is not sad or lonely. In act, the opposite is true. Walle is a very happy dog and has quite a large fan club. Walle’s schedule is quite busy most days. Dog trainer Wen makes sure he gets cuddles each morning, followed by Walle convincing dog staff feeders that he needs a lil extra canned food to accidentally be dropped on the floor. Soon after feeding, Walle’s fans arrive and take turns coming in for a visit. He gets love and cookies from most. But watch your finger folks. This guy is like a blind snapping turtle with very poor aim. Walle continues to assist with dog orientation, give Wen snuggle therapy, and also moonlights as the guardian of the T&E.

Winter Update 2025: Wall-e has made many new friends as of late with our new volunteers.He now happily greets Margaret. Sarah, Gloria, Steve B., Mattie, and Steve S. Steve S. is a cat volunteer who is so smitten with Wall-e that he featured him in his cat book. Wall-e has grown quite comfortable with leaving his safe space and venturing out into the entryway of T N E to visit all of his friends former and present. Not only is he showing great confidence is doing this, he actually demands it. He will jump on his door scratch, and vocalize that he wishes to come out whenever he sees or even hears one of his now many friends that enter the building. When he does, we open the door for him and he goes flying out there to see his people without the slightest hesitation. This once shy boy is on his way to having a much bigger life. With no emerging health concerns, Wall-e is on the fast track to enjoy all the chilly winter temps and adding to his friend circle.

Volunteer Thought: It did not take long for Walle to embrace me and start to give me hugs and kisses! A fantastic, snuggly kind of guy, while sitting in the Vet Tech office which he shares with senior hound, Winston, Walle’s head was in my lap and kisses were in great abundance. The hips were also in full swivel mode. Can it get any better?

Walle is still more shy in his initial meet/greet with a human but his love and trust will quickly grow with you. Walle’s playful side is starting to emerge as he chases balls and runs around acting goofy. He’s good with other dogs (and likes them!) but can be a bit awkward with them as if he’s not had much prior interaction/play time with them. He’s learning quickly though and getting into the groove of basic doggy to doggy interaction. He would be best suited in a home with another dog to learn and mimic their behaviors to help guide him to ideal pet status. Walle is a younger fellow (1-2 yrs old) who is particularly calm and polite and according to the Vet Tech, is THE best “spooner” around! In the office, if you stretch out on his doggy bed, Walle will mold himself around you for the perfect spoon fit! LOL. Walle has been respectful living in the vet tech office area and is now a skilled in and out dog mastering the doggy door to the outside fenced in yard. In general, we sense Walle has had a more limited life experience so his new family will find that there are many new “firsts” for this handsome fellow. What a treat to be the one to help him broaden his horizon and explore, go and do!

Walle has impressed us so very much with his progress and we can’t wait to see what is next for this incredible fellow. Perhaps you will be the one to help him find his best pet persona!!!
