Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Edison is a special pup looking for his forever home!
What makes Edison special? For starters, Edison is deaf! Being deaf doesn't slow Edison down though, really it just makes him a bit more oblivious to external stimulus, and helps him sleep in longer.
Edison also has separation anxiety- he is a real lover who prefers to be near his people at all all times. When he can't see his people, Edison is frantic and tries to get back to them, whether that means digging in a crate, barking, or frantically running around the house trying to find them. He would prefer a forever home where someone is always home, or if he could go to work with his people!
Edison is a very calm, affectionate and gentle boy. He is lower energy and really just cares about snuggling with his people, or near his people. He is good in the car, but wants his head on the drivers lap to keep them company, and tries to climb on people's laps on the couch. When given boundaries, Edison can nap at his persons feet (preferably on a very soft dog bed!) so that they can work in peace. New environments or new people? No problem! Edison just cares that he's around his people. If given a soft dog bed, Edison knows that's a good place to curl up for a nap.
Edison loves all people! He is gentle and happy to greet everyone, and will try to climb into their laps if he can help it. He is such a sweet soul, he will slip right into anyone's heart immediately!
Edison is very playful with other dogs. He is very friendly and initially passive, but can get playful in a typical boxer fashion by pawing at them and jumping around them. Edison is still intact, his neuter appointment is in January, so he can rub some dogs the wrong way, but his intentions are innocent and playful. Edison has a prey drive for small animals and is not good with cats.
Edison came to us very underweight and is very food motivated. He is gentle taking food from hands, and will do anything for food! He is still young and it seems has not had much training or structure before, so he will need some direction in his forever home to not investigate food on counters, or get into things he isn't supposed to on his level.
Edison walks well on leash and doesn't pull at all on a flat collar. He is happy to follow his people and go on whatever adventure or direction they would like to go. Aside from his separation anxiety issues, he is truly a sweet little joy that is guaranteed to make anyone who meets him fall in love with him!
Due to his separation anxiety, Edison is looking for a forever home in a detached house, as he can be vocal when he can't see his people. He needs someone who is home the majority of the time, can take him to work with him, or has the time to do a proper separation anxiety protocol to help him be comfortable home alone. While he does like other dogs, unfortunately they aren't quite enough comfort for him to be home alone with them.
Edison is fully vaccinated, microchipped, and has his neuter and 4DX snap test in January.
