Edmond was first described as a big marshmallow and that is an apt description! He is a sweet guy who loves to spend much of his day snoozing in his bed. But don't be fooled - he still has some youthful exuberance, especially when enthusiastically greeting visitors at the door or when spying an intruder squirrel in the yard.
Edmond also loves to sniff and explore his surroundings either in the yard or on walks. He's working on leash manners, is very playful, and has a youthful spirit. No one can believe he's 14! Inside, he's very mellow, not at all destructive (except for the occasional stuffed dog toy) and is fine being left alone. Just know that when you're home, he will want lots of belly rubs and head scratches. He's just looking for some love!
My adoption fee is free thanks to a generous donor!
If you are interested in adopting Edmond, please send an email to jaroda@comcast.net to arrange an initial meet & greet with the pet's foster parent or a staff member. They will reply to you within 24-48 hours.
