Story
If you're looking for a workout buddy and cuddle companion all in one, Checkers may be your perfect match! At around 2 to 3 years old, she's full of energy and always ready for a walk, run, or outdoor adventure. She isn't much of a couch potato, but once the day is done, she's happy to curl up in her dog bed and sleep through the night. Checkers gets along well with other dogs and even shares her home with cats. She may give them an occasional chase, but she takes correction well and quickly moves on. Curious, friendly, and affectionate, she loves being involved in whatever her people are doing and is never far from a good snuggle. She's house-trained, has not needed to be crated, and can comfortably stay home for six or more hours without any accidents. Checkers is ready to bring joy, companionship, and plenty of fun to her forever home.

Story
Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable so for most of the dogs we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each dog as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not by breed label. Each dog in our rescue is in a loving foster home, where they can grow, play, and recover from their time spent on the streets or in a shelter. If you'd like to meet an adoptable dog, please fill out an application on our website, www.edcr.org. Because we are a foster home based rescue a completed adoption application is required to meet our adoptable dogs. April 8, 2025, 2:21 pm

Story
Sunny’s Story Sunny was found abandoned near a Goodwill store, hiding under a pine tree in search of shade. Despite her rough start, she has shown nothing but resilience and heart. What We Love About Sunny Sunny absolutely adores her people. Being close to them makes her light up with excitement. While she can be over-the-top excited when meeting new people, she settles in beautifully with her trusted humans—snuggling close and offering the sweetest gentle kisses. Progress & Growth Since arriving in foster care, Sunny has made wonderful progress. When she first came home, she struggled with overstimulation, often jumping and using her mouth. With patience, consistency, and understanding, she has improved significantly and now jumps without the biting, showing how eager she is to learn and please. Funny Quirks & Personality Sunny is as courageous as they come and seems to know her quick little self can stir up the bigger dogs. One of her favorite routines is sprinting down the hallway toward the door, then dramatically turning to dash outside—always with confidence and flair. Personality TraitsAdventurous • Athletic • Brave • Clever • Communicative • Couch Potato • Dignified • Enthusiastic • Food-Motivated • Loving • Loyal • Smart ##2526977##

Story
Meet Marley! ??Marley is a 12-year-old, 19-pound Jack Russell Terrier mix who is a sweet old man looking for a comfortable place to spend his golden years.Marley was surrendered to us through no fault of his own. He came in with another dog that he had lived with for most of his life. While they had a minor altercation after arriving, we believe the stress and noise of the shelter may have played a role. They do well around each other now, but we continue to keep them separated for most of the time. Because Marley has lived successfully with another dog for most of his life, we believe he may do well with other dogs when given proper introductions and time to decompress in a new home. Marley has also had an interaction with one of our shelter cats. He was curious about the cat but didn`t seem overly interested, which was a great first impression!This friendly guy is happy to meet just about anyone. He loves getting pets and back scratches and is always ready to make a new friend. And if there is one thing Marley takes seriously, it`s treats! He loves them and will happily try to find any possible way to convince you that he deserves one. Marley isn`t particularly interested in toys, but he has plenty of other ways to keep you entertained. He may steal your seat, your lap, and before you know it, your heart, too. ??After spending so much of his life with a family, Marley deserves a peaceful home where he can relax, feel loved, and enjoy his golden years surrounded by people who will cherish him.We do all adoptions with approved applicants by appointment only. If you are interested in adopting, please use the link below to fill out the application. Once we receive that back, then we can schedule you a meeting with the animal you are interested in.https://form.jotform.com/261544309434052

Story
Pumpkin loves to curl up in her bed and she would not be opposed to being a snuggle companion to her new family. Pumpkin does well with people of all ages but she would prefer an adult family with a calm household. Pumpkin gets along with other dogs-we don't know about cats but she ignored them when we walked her past them.
