Story
Elf is approx 6 years old, and we think a Maltese or Maltese-mix. He is shy when meeting new people, but he warms up quickly! He's so little, he will do best in a home with no/older human kiddos. He enjoys the company of other dogs. He also learns quickly & is super treat motivated. (He'll even dance on his back legs if he thinks one is on its way!)  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 13, 2024, 10:54 am

Maltese Shih Tzu

Story
Daisy is a fearful girl who was part of a hoarding situation. She enjoys snacks and running in and out of the dog door. She does not like petting or cuddling, but she does like chin scratches and giving her foster mom nose kisses early in the morning. Daisy does not walk well on a leash, so she'd do best in a home with a fenced in yard.  She would like a home with another dog who is laid back and doesn't mind the company. She does not want a home with children as she will try to bite their ankles or a hyper dog (she will bite their legs and bully them). Daisy's ideal home is very quiet and willing to be patient with her issues. She prefers someone who doesn't mind putting her away when guests show up so that she doesn't try to bully them into leaving again.  Daisy's adoption fee is $25. She is spayed, vaccinated and microchipped. ##1494404##

Story
Please read entire description. Shyloh's adoption fee is $175. If interested, please complete an application on our website at www.pawswapofgreaterlafayette.com/adopting.    Shyloh is the most unusual pup. He is just under 9 months old and is looking for a forever home. He is a pit mixed with something small and fluffy which gives him soft wispy hair and adorable, short stocky legs. We adore this boy!   Shyloh weighs about 50 pounds and is very medium in size. He walks well on leash, is very cuddly, knows some basic commands, and is great with children, cats, and other dogs. He is currently living in an apartment setting and was trained on potty pads. He still uses them, but ideally would love a fenced yard and someone who can work with him on learning more basics.   Shyloh is used to being left out without supervision at this point and does relatively well. Shyloh is neutered, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, and microchipped. His adoption fee is $175. If interested, please complete an application on our website at www.pawswapofgreaterlafayette.com/adopting. ##1820612##
