Story
Hi, I’m Casey I’m a little lady with a big personality and a bigger love for people — attention is my favorite thing. I’m energetic, playful, and happy to settle down after I’ve had some time to move around. I’ve been said to be good with kids, but I do have some ongoing medical needs, namely a history of seizures. I’m a curious, adventurous girl, so a secure yard is recommended to help keep me safe while I explore the world.

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.
