My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Eddie is 30 lb, jet black Amstaff mix and the perfect size for a travel buddy! He was seized by authorities in a dog-fighting raid and at just 12 weeks old, had already been put outside, forced to live on a chain. He struggled with some growth issues in his front legs from not being able to walk dragging the 30+ lb chain. When he first took him into our care, he was terrified of people, looking to other dogs for guidance. We knew Eddie was going to need some training to help him build some confidence, so that he can live a happier life. Since working with trainers, Eddie has slowly blossomed into a loving dog that loves human affection. The days of cowering in fear are over and he has adjusted beautifully to a normal life. Eddie has even made some dog friends, who he loves to play a good game of tag with. He has learned to walk really well on a leash, and knows "sit", "down" and "place". No longer does he see the world as a terrifying place, but one full of wonder and fun! We are so proud of Eddie and everything he has overcome to reach this point in his life. Eddie is ready to go HOME and we are working hard to find him the perfect family!
