About Edna

Meet Edna, a sweet Shih Tzu who’s been making the most of her time in a loving foster home. At about 10 years old and around 12 lbs, she’s laid-back and is ready to charm her new family with her adorable nature. Edna is hard of hearing, which makes her a bit grumpy in the morning, but once she’s awake, her lovable personality shines through. Edna is very friendly and enjoys relaxing with her people, though she’s quite independent. She gets along well with dogs, showing no aggression during her encounters, making her suitable for homes with a calm canine companion. Ideally, she would thrive with older, gentle children due to her hearing concerns. Her happy walks and love for exploring make each day special, though she’s not interested in toys and prefers short outdoor excursions. Keep in mind, Edna requires some attention for her medical needs, including daily eye drops and a joint supplement for her senior status. If you’re looking for a companion who likes to relax and enjoys gentle affection, Edna just might be the perfect addition to your home. Ready to make a wonderful new friend? Apply now!
