Make their next chapter their best one yet. Eggnog, also known as Eddie, is a 9-year-old, 11-pound mix of Maltese and Poodle who will melt your heart with his unique personality. His quirky independent left ear only adds to his endearing charm. Eddie adores adventurous walks, car rides, and, of course, treats. While he likes to show his independent side, he's happy to curl up on a soft dog bed or settle in for a cozy lap nap when it suits him. He needs a quiet, patient, and loving home willing to offer him plenty of space to adjust. Eddie communicates his needs through his behavior and benefits from someone who listens and responds to him with understanding. He thrives best as the only pet in a calm household without children, as loud noises can make him anxious. Consistency, regular routines, and reassurance are key to helping Eddie feel safe and secure. His adopter should be prepared for lifelong medication management, special food for allergies and digestion, and maintaining specific behavior plans set up by professionals. Crate training and gentle vet grooming twice a year are also required. Eddie has come so far from his traumatic past and continues to heal; he will need continued support as he may have occasional nightmares and has a history of fear-based biting. You'll be provided with a thorough handbook of his training progress and tips for continued success. Eddie is ready to share his love—and his big dreams of a peaceful home life—with someone dedicated to consistency, compassion, and ongoing patience. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
