Story
Finn is a sweet, silly, and incredibly quirky little dog with a big personality packed into his 30-pound frame. He’s social, and has proven he can live well with a variety of dogs, making him a really fun and engaging companion to have around. Like many terriers, Finn is smart, opinionated, and not afraid to express himself. Because of this, he can be a bit pushy or demanding at times, especially if boundaries aren’t clearly defined. You may see things like demand barking or him testing limits in everyday situations. He thrives with an owner who understands that this is part of his terrier nature and is comfortable providing clear structure, consistent expectations, and fair corrections. Someone who can confidently say “no” and follow through will bring out the very best in him. With the right balance of structure and freedom, Finn truly shines. He is incredibly smart and would love to learn new tricks! He already knows a handful of commands including "Spring" where he jumps up like he is on a pogo stick! He has the potential to enjoy a wide variety of environments, whether that’s getting out on adventures or relaxing at home, but at the end of the day, his favorite place will always be at his person’s side. He’s an affectionate, loyal, and entertaining companion who will make an incredible match for someone looking for a dog that can fit into many different lifestyles while still being their dedicated sidekick. Finn is a medium energy dog, and will do fine with a small activity on week days and longer activities and exercise on the weekends.

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.
