Pat’s Dogs
Beau Arrives July 26, 2022
Sweetie needed a brother so I found Beau who was about 3 1/2 months old. They bonded immediately and play all day in between napping. They are true brother and sister now. Sweetie was lonely without Buddy.
June 4, 2022 Buddy finds a new home with Jane.
I had Buddy 5 months and by the time he was over 70 pounds, he was a lot for me to handle. I wished I could find him a home with younger people. Jane lost her 2 goldens around Christmas and was devastated. She meet Buddy and fell in love. He lives on a big farm with a Golden Brother Winston and I get to visit him.
Sweetie Arrived on May 24, 2022
Buddy played so well with our neighbor’s 4 month old Corgi, I thought he should have a playmate of his own. So I found a really cute 4 month old Corgi that I named Sweetie. They bonded immediately and played most the day between naps.
Buddy Arrived on January 1, 2022
I picked Buddy up on January 1, 2022 when he was 8 weeks old. He is an English Cream Golden Retriever. I was devastated when I lost both Peanut and Chloe within 2 months of each other. I thought I would start with a puppy. LOL
In Memory of those I have loved who have left a warm place in my heart
Chloe ? – 2022
Chloe Arrived July 31, 2020 Peanut’s new little sister. Adopted from Humane Society of Parkersburg. This is her before photo and a new spa photo to follow. I adopted her to be company for Peanut after all this other doggie buddies passed away. He is not interested in her at all!
Peanut 2010-2021
Peanut showed up at my gate on Nov. 20, 2012. He was trying to get in the gate with the Digger Brothers. He had been attacked and had puncture wounds, fleas in his eyes, infection of his rear end, long nails and starved at only 9 pounds. It took 7 days at the vets and surgery to pull him thru.
Bingo 2011 – 2021
Bingo was my neighbors dog. She was also my dog sitter. She was very, very sick. I took her dog to take care of him until she got better. Unfortunately, she moved in with her daughter and could no longer keep him. So he has become the guardian of my gang.
Sweetie- Dalmatian Mix 2001 – 2020Oh no – it happened again. Poor Sweetie. She was found in a field starving and lived a couple weeks at the Humane Society. She kept getting picked over for those small fuzzy cute puppies. Pat and Sweetie fell in love – end of story. Benny has also fallen in love with her since she has joined the Walter Family.
Nikki – The Springer Mix Puppy 2005 – 2020
We pulled Nikki from a high kill shelter in Athens OH in Mid March of 2005. The purpose was to save her life and send her to rescue. Since most of the rescue fosters were full, we ended up fostering her. She is still with us and feels this is home. Nikki’s Story PageFritz & Sluggo – The Digger Brothers 2005 – 2018
Fritz fell out of his kennel at the shelter and fractured his rear leg. He was going to be put down since the shelter does not have money to treat injured animals. I received an email and we decided to help Fritz. He came from a litter of 6 puppies. Sluggo, his brother, had infected feet and could not walk properly. So we brought them both home to take care of them. There is very little call for black hound dog mixes at the shelter, so The Brothers Story Page |
2002 – 2017 Charlie – The Springer Spaniel
Lived at the Humane Society for three weeks and got very sick with Kennel Cough. We took him to the vet, since the shelter has little medicine, and then brought him home to get well. He loves living with the other 10 dogs. He was supposed to go to rescue – but he already feels that he is part of the family. He is learning to be a house dog. He thinks it is great fun being in a house. He has a wonderful personality. Charlie’s Story Page |
2001 – 2013 Millie – the Fox Terrier-Hunting Dog
Lived at the Humane Society for one night. Became member number 8 of the Walter Pack! Wants to become a mechanic – see photo of Millie using a wrench – very talented.Millie’s Story Page |
2001 – 2013 Sparky – Border Collie |
2001-2011 Robbie – The Blind Sheltie
Robbie has joined the Walter household. He was at the shelter frozen in fear after he was picked up as a stray. He is settling in and learning many new commands. He can walk on a leash and jump in and out of the car without any help. He is a very smart little guy. To our great surprise, he seems to enjoy living with 11 other dogs and has learned to live with 3 cats. He is a real sweetie and a joy to be around. He always has a smile on his face. His favorite game is playing tag in the yard, running full speed with Sweetie. More About Robbie |
2004-2011 Katie – The Crippled Aussie
Katie has joined the Walter doggie family, she makes it a bakers dozen! Pat worked at the local shelter as an assistant manager for a few months and wanted to save poor little Katie. She looked like she was hit by a car. We have found out since, she was born crippled and will unfortunately stay that way. The orthopedic vets can not perform any fancy operations to make her walk like a normal dog. But she still enjoys life hopping around and joyfully playing. Katie’s Story Page

1995-2010 Lucky – The Aussie
Lucky was a foster with us about 1 1/2 years ago when he was turned into our local shelter. He found a home and in the summer of 2004, his family was no longer able to keep him. So he is back with us again. We are still trying to find him a new home, but he thinks he belongs here by now. So we will include him in our family doggie album. |
1997 – 2010 Buddy – Collie Mix
Found in the middle of Front Street trying to direct traffic when he was six months old. Number 5 of the Walter Pack. Known better as the “Love Child” since his birthday is about February 14 and lives up to his name. Another Collie sweetie! |
? – 2008 Molly – The Border Collie
Resident of the Humane Society for several weeks. Number 7 of the Walter Pack. What a sweetie – no nicer dog in the world! |
1999 – 2008 PJ – The Pembroke Welsh Corgi
The one dog Pat actually bought because she wanted to know what the dog would look like when she grew up. Number 6 of the Walter Pack. Tries to herd the rest around – doesn’t work with a real Border Collie, a wanna be Border Collie, one mixed Collie and a Fox Terrier Mix who is boss of everyone. |
1993 – 2009 Pepper – Golden Irish Setter Mix
1993 – 2007 Kelley – Golden Hound MixNumber 1 of the Walter Pack The first chosen from the box of puppies. Yes – the four are all definitely related and had the same Mom. As to the Fathers – a few must have been involved due to the variety of the family!
1993 – 2006 Clancy – Golden Irish Setter Mix
Number 3 of the Walter Pack. Clancy and his four other brothers and sisters were found in a box by the road out in the country by Pat’s neighbor. Of course, a few of the puppies had to come live at Pat’s house. Clancy and Pepper appear to be twins, at least to us. 1993 – 2005 Blackie – Irish Setter Mix
Number 2 of the Walter Pack. Sister to Clancy, Pepper and Kelley. Found in that same box out in the country. A very talkative Irish Setter Mix. |
