Featured Dog

EDDIE

I am a sweet lovable fellow named Eddie. I am about 4 years old. I hope you don't mind a wet face. I love to give kisses and get belly rubs in return. I love to flop over on my back with paws in the air to tempt anyone passing by to give me a scratch or two. You can never have too many belly rubs. My foster family said I am very obedient and mindful of my family. I have already learned to sit on command and working on a few other phrases.

I am ready for my forever home, and I do have a few requests. I don't get along with cats and will need a feline-free home. That's why my last family returned me to the shelter after my first owner died. I get along great with people and children. I need to be an only dog in the home.Β 

I am house-trained and do great on rides in the car. I am pretty strong when I go on walks and I hope you like to walk, too. I am quiet and love to spend time laying around the house and being with my human family. I would love a home with a fenced yard.

I have a very sweet soul and will be very happy to meet you-- please contact BROOD today and we can get together. My adoption fee is sponsored by a wonderful person who happens to be a BROOD Board of Directors member. Thank you to my special friend. Hugs and kisses to you.Β
