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

Eddie is a cute Jack Russel mix, probably about 1-year-old and weighing 16-pounds. This poor boy was abandoned with his siblings, left to fend for themselves, before they were rescued a couple of months ago. When Eddie first entered his foster home, he was terrified of everything.. He still is scared of new people and places, but is getting more comfortable in new surroundings. Eddie is now enjoying 'the good life' in his foster home. He has been fully vetted and is crate trained and housetrained.
Still a puppy, Eddie has plenty of energy, and loves to run and play chase with other dogs, or chase the resident squirrels. He definitely needs a fenced yard to be able to expend all his energy safely. He is making progress at walking on a leash, but we feel he needs more exercise than just walking, to be healthy and happy.
Eddie is a very smart boy, and his foster parents have taught him to 'sit', 'lay', play fetch, and do high-fives. He loves hanging out on the couch with his people, getting petted, and especially loves his play toys and chew bones. He can entertain himself for a long time, just dragging out all the toys in his toy basket! He has not yet learned to put them back!
Eddie Enjoys the companionship of other dogs, and we feel he will do best in a home with another young, playful, and self- assured dog. Since Eddie's still timid in new situations, a self-assured and friendly dog should help him be more comfortable in his new home. Eddie also does well with the resident cat in his foster home, although the cat doesn't show any interest in playing with him.
Eddie is a healthy little pup. He is current on his vaccinations... he has had 2 Dist/Parvo vaccines, a Bordetella and his Rabies vaccine. He has been neutered, microchipped, tested negative for Heartworms, and is on Heartguard for Heartworm prevention.
Eddie's adoption fee is $350.00
Eddie is a loving, sweet, active, and smart little boy who deserves only the best home and family! If you feel that you would like to add Eddie to your family, please submit an application by going to our website foreverhomek9rescue.org for an application and email the completed application to us at foreverhomek9rescue@yahoo.com.

Forever Home Canine Rescue offers a three-week trial period with all of our adoptions, just to be sure that the pet is a good match for the adopting family. The fee is refunded if the adoption does not work out within the trial period. We want to be sure that each of our pets will have their perfect 'forever' home!
Although Forever Home Canine Rescue adopts out-of-state, we never ship or transport our pets. An approved adopter must come to North Carolina to meet their new canine companion and then take him/her back home with them.
