Walter the beagle

I got my beagle at age 5, he is now age 61/2. I got him at a place in Roseburg, Oregon called Saving Grace. I was forced to give up my beloved blue heeler and golden retriever I fostered when my husband and I moved to Oregon from Washington. For months I viewed Saving Grace's website in hopes of finding a smaller companion for Kirk and I.
When I first saw Walter, I knew we had to have him. His name was Gomez and the picture they had of him only accentuated his long body. About three weeks later, my mother said she would help with the adoption fee of $120. At this time, however, someone put a $25 hold on my little man. I was on pins and needles until we received the good news that the people that put money down to hold him decided on another pet, and I knew that Walter was ours.
