Eddie is available - in Maine Mixed Breed South Portland, ME

Eddie is a one-year old mix breed, who weighs 30lbs. Eddie arrived from our NC partner rescue in May and we have been really getting to know him. He is house and crate trained, he happily sleeps in his crate at night.

Eddie is a bit of an insecure dog, given all of the changes he has experienced in his first year of life. Because of this, he tends to exhibit behaviors of over-arousal and overexcitement (jumping, mouthing). Think of Eddie as a full-size puppy. He has been working with one of our trainers and is doing well with his management plan. His adopters will need to continue this and be consistent with his training. Along with his formal training plan, we are happy to provide follow up guidance as necessary to set him up for success!

Eddie does love to soak up love from his foster mom with his head on her shoulder or snuggled in her lap. He is a quick learner and really loves his people. He enjoys being outside in the yard and playing with other dogs. He plays well and loves a good game tug with toys (which is a great outlet!).

He has enjoyed the company of children, but is an energetic adolescent dog, so parents and kiddos comfortable with dogs who are on the over-exuberant side will be the best fit for him kid-wise. Kids will also need to be a part of the training plan, which can be a great experience for both human and dog. Eddie’s excitement is not a good fit for cats.

Eddie is a true work in progress, and he certainly is making lots of progress! Consistency is key for Eddie. Given his intelligence coupled with his super sweet nature, he is ready to continue his skill-building to be an awesome family member.
