About Eddie

Meet Eddie, your future favorite couch buddy! This sweet, laid-back companion is around 2 years old and weighs approximately 40 pounds with the softest velvety ears. Eddie has a few physical scars and likely some emotional ones too. He can be shy at first when meeting new people, but with patience, he bonds quickly and becomes a loyal friend. His energy level is low to moderate, so he doesn’t require extensive exercise. However, he does need a securely fenced yard of at least 4 feet high. Care must be taken when opening doors as he may bolt, making a home without young children ideal. Eddie gets along well with other dogs, showing calm behavior both at home and during walks. He’s well-adjusted in a home with a resident dog but could also thrive as the only dog. He’s easygoing and tolerates baths and nail trims without fuss. He’s already house-trained, crate-trained, and knows basic commands like "sit." Currently, he’s learning "off" to help curb his counter surfing, which is improving. Eddie has those irresistible puppy-dog eyes and is simply seeking someone to love—someone to curl up with while watching TV. If a loyal companion with a heart full of love is what you’re after, Eddie might be your match. Adopters must live within an hour’s drive of St. Louis, MO. Ready to fall in love?
