Eddie

Eddie is a sweet, sensitive, and smart six year old boy. At sixty five pounds, he's a bit on the small side for a grown male. He had a rough time at one of the high-kill shelters where he resided before joining Rescue. Many of the volunteers at that particular shelter were afraid of German Shepherd dogs and, therefore, they were reluctant to take them out of the kennel for a walk. Poor Eddie would wait patiently to be taken out for a potty break. Just before we evaluated him, we learned he had not been walked, and therefore hadn't been to the potty, for three days!

Needless to say, Eddie is housebroken and knows how to use a doggie door. He knows how to sit and will gently take a treat as a reward. He likes to play ball and will drop it at your feet after it has been retrieved. Well, most of the time he will drop it at your feet, but sometimes it is fun to play keep-away! Eddie gets along well with other dogs, but he's really not very interested in playing with them.

Cats, on the other hand, are a different story. Rumor has it that he's afraid of furry felines. In fact, the first time he was introduced to a cat at Rescue, the kitty snarled and hissed at him, and Eddie immediately hid behind our evaluator, probably fearing an attack. Although he can rise to the occasion and bark, especially when his foster brother starts it first, Eddie isn't a barker, although he will let you know if the situation warrants a bark or two. He'd love to join you in the car for rides, and he walks nicely on a leash, although he's been known to get a bit excited when he sees another dog in the distance. Finally, Eddie gives little, gentle kisses, so he's hoping that someone out there who is reading his story will want his kisses as well. (By the way, when you meet Eddie for the first time, take a look at his forehead; he has wonderful heart-shaped markings, which you can somewhat see in the photos. Do you know what that means? That means he is a love!)
