Here's what the humans have to say about me:
What if we told you that you could be lucky enough to find the beautiful model and actress, Edie Sedgewick, in your bed? Cuddling, nibbling your ears, and whispering sweet nothings to you. Well, the whispering may be more like snarfling but our very own Edie Sedgewick, Ruff Start's 2 year old Shih Tzu, is cute enough to be a puppy model, loves a good snuggle and yes, she will nibble your earlobes. Edie was discovered in her original home with her deceased owner and then found herself at a high kill shelter when her owner's family did not want to care for her. Completely disheveled and matted down to her skin, not to mention having gone through such a traumatic ordeal, we felt it was best keep our little gremlin in foster for a while to allow her to decompress. Now well socialized with dogs and people, Miss Edie is truly flourishing and is a fun-loving little lady. Fondly known as "the pip" because she is such a funny, spirited girl, our 7lb. sweetheart would love a family that will buy her an endless supply of miniature tennis balls and play fetch with her all day long. She would also be thrilled to have a couch or chair where she can perch and watch all the household comings and goings. Edie is fostered with children, other dogs of all sizes and cats and gets along famously with everyone. She is also crated trained and great with potty pads. Edie is spayed, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative and microchipped. If you are interested in adopting our model girl, please complete an adoption application from www.ruffstarthappytails.org
