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
Tazz is a dog that fits into any energy within any household! He's good to play with, and he's good for cuddles, to relax, whatever is the mood of the home, he meets it! A small disclaimer is that he does bark when he hears people, but he is extremely friendly and charismatic once he's introduced. He loves kids, and has a good history being around other dogs and cats. For a middle aged dog, he's looking for a home that can give him more love and care than I am able to provide, so please, be good to him!

Story
HI! I’m PATRICK, a young Jack Russell mix and i am BLIND. WHAT’S GREAT ABOUT ME: I’m a happy guy who loves to have fun & I love my people! I love to play and also to cuddle, belly rubs are the best! I am super-smart and I learn things very quickly. I love to go outside and go for walks, easy on the leash. I’m about 25 pounds with a beautiful blue merle & white coat with some copper highlights and for some reason I have a curly fluffy tail! They call me a Jack Russell mix and think I am around 2 years old. I love food and take treats gently. Rain? Snow? Cold? Windy? Stormy? I don’t care, I love it all! I love to play with my people but I can also entertain myself like a champ with toys & bones. I am lovely in the crate…quiet and calm, I’m there when foster mom is away and I sleep there all night in my safe place. I want a home to stay safe in with my people all the time, I have no need to go out to new places with new people, that is too scary for me since I can’t see, so no stores or dog parks for me…however, I do just fine going to the vet for my visits and then I’m so happy to get back home. WHAT’S CHALLENGING ABOUT ME: I am BLIND which presents me with unique challenges, but I was born this way so I have adapted very well and don’t know any different. No children for me…I am known to use my mouth to figure out my world and what’s going on near me so I can come off as “nippy” when I’m really just trying to figure things out. I was rescued from the downtown streets and may have never had a real home or been inside a lot before but I have learned A LOT in my foster home and I am now 90% potty trained. I need an experienced dog-savvy owner, I am confident, assertive and I know how to push my boundaries but I am also loving, sweet & so much fun that I’m worth it!! So basically, you know, I'm a JRT. High prey drive, no cats for me. Would likely do best as an only dog. I have integrated into my foster home with 2 other dogs but it took MONTHS of slow integration before we could free roam together and I can get overstimulated with playing so I need to be watched VERY carefully when I’m with the other dogs. Car rides are very scary for me…I can tolerate them if you are there with me and I can go to the vet for my appointments but other than that I just wanna stay at home! Patrick needs a special home. And we will need help to find him that special home.
