About Edwin

Edwin is a small senior gentleman who brings a relaxed, polite energy wherever he goes. He spent years in a chaotic home in California but now enjoys the calm of a foster environment and appreciates every bit of kindness you give him. At around 8 to 9 years old and just 18 pounds, he’s likely a Chihuahua mix—his charming underbite gives him an endearing look. Edwin gets along beautifully with other dogs, both large and small, and is respectful around cats, preferring the company and attention of people. While he hasn’t lived with children, his demeanor is gentle, and a calm home with considerate kids should suit him. The basics are all there: house trained, walks nicely on leash, and rides quietly in the car. He asks for a peaceful home where he can bond and enjoy life at his own pace. Neutered, current on vaccinations, microchipped, parasite-free, and negative for heartworm. Edwin's adoption fee covers a wellness exam at select partner clinics in the Portland area.
