COURTESY POST!! Meet Eddie Stokes Pitbull | High-energy | Amazing family companion E. Stokes is a dog who truly matches the energy around him. If everyone is relaxing, he’s right there looking for snuggles. If the kids are loud, playful, and full of excitement—he’s happily right in the middle of it all! E. Stokes is very high energy, especially outdoors and around other dogs. He absolutely loves fetch (any ball will do!), chasing and being chased by humans and dogs, running free at the park, and soaking up the sunshine. He enjoys tug, soccer ball kicks, bike rides, puzzles, squeaky toys, and would likely excel at agility. ⚽🐕‍🦺 He has had minimal to no experience with cats, but amusingly enough, he once “adopted” some baby birds in the backyard—showing a surprisingly gentle side. At home, he’s incredibly affectionate. He loves belly rubs, head pets, chest and behind-the-ear scratches. When you’re cooking, his favorite place is standing between your legs, and he enjoys laying in bed watching you. He loves being covered with blankets for afternoon naps and usually puts himself to bed around 9:30 PM, ready to start his day around 9 AM. 🛏️ Training & manners: ✔️ Very treat motivated ✔️ Knows sit, lay down, speak, go to bed / crate ✔️ Responds to “don’t pull me” on leash ✔️ Responds to “wait for me” off leash E. Stokes loves meeting new people and dogs. In busy or crowded situations, he can get a little anxious—but once reassured, he will lean into you and stay calmly by your side, soaking up comfort and reassurance. 💙 Quirks & fun facts: • Doesn’t like swimming or rain (potty time in the rain is a challenge!) 🌧️ • Loves eating snow ❄️ • Doesn’t like clothes or feeling trapped, but will wear winter pajamas for cozy snuggles • Not a fan of hugs unless they’re over the top of his back • Very affectionate and generous with kisses Favorite snacks: 🫐 Frozen blueberries 🍓 Fresh or frozen strawberries 🍉 Watermelon 🥬 Kale & peas Dislikes: peanut butter & celery Contact Puyallup Animal Rescue at ballots@fairpoint.net for more information.
