About Eddie

Eddie is a lively little guy, brimming with energy and curiosity. As a mix of Parson Russell Terrier and Rat Terrier, he embodies the adventurous spirit common among terriers. Despite being just a puppy, Eddie doesn’t let his small size hold him back. He tackles obstacles with determination, whether that means climbing, jumping, or using his charming gaze to coax you into picking him up. Eddie is friendly with all dogs, large or small, and he loves humans. However, because he is still a young pup, a home with older children or those who understand puppy behavior would be ideal. He’s already crate trained for sleeping and is on track with his potty training. This energetic little fella thrives on companionship and prefers to snuggle instead of being confined. Set to make a wonderful addition to a loving home, Eddie requires a dedicated adopter ready for the responsibility of raising a puppy. If you're ready to give him a forever home, apply today!
