More about Eddie

APPLICATION REQUIRED from www.dashdog.org  Adoption Fee $450 - the fee is NON-NEGOTIABLE and is not specific for any dog or puppy; it goes to the expenses of the organization as a whole* OUR APPLICATION IS ON www.dashdog.org and must be completed in order to set up a meeting. Our listed dogs ARE READY IMMEDIATELY; we only meet with families WHO ARE READY TO ADOPT! IF YOU APPLY and if WE APPROVE YOU it means we are assuming when you meet any of our dogs and fall in love you're ready to ADOPT AND HIM OR HER HOME!   EDISON (Eddie) is a VERY smart, affectionate young pup with a big personality and an even bigger heart.    Edison is incredibly intelligent and already knows several commands including sit, lie down, and shake. He’s highly food-motivated and eager to learn, which makes training both fun and rewarding. In fact, he’s so clever that he’s even figured out how to open doors with pull-down handles!    Once he learns how to do something he won’t forget it; usually this is in your best interest, but if it’s in Edison’s, he’ll quickly learn when you teach him another way/ YOUR way!   This sweet boy is very devoted to his people and loves being part of the family. If someone leaves the room, Ed will often wait patiently by the door or try to follow them. When his people are in different places, he may happily trot back and forth between them to make sure everyone is still together. Eddie’s favorite moments are when the whole family is in the same place.   Like all Aussies at 9m old, Eddie is still very much a playful puppy.  He loves carrying things around in his mouth—blankets, sleeves, or anything he can grab—and gets especially excited about toys and chew items. Plastic bottles are one of his favorite things to chomp on, and he enjoys interactive playtime that keeps him busy and engaged. At DASH we suggest buying a 12 pack of men’s socks at somewhere like Ross or TJ Maxx put plastic bottles in them and tie a knot at the top. It’s the least expensive and most entertaining long lasting dog toy you can invest in!    Edison is also quite the foodie! While he enjoys healthy treats like carrots, apples, and even a little yogurt, his absolute favorite reward is cheese.   Because he is still learning manners and can get jumpy when excited, he would likely do best in a home with older children or adults who can continue his training and provide plenty of activity and structure. An active home where he can play, learn, and stay mentally stimulated would be ideal for him.   With his intelligence, loyalty, and playful spirit, Edison is sure to be a wonderful companion for someone ready to continue guiding this bright young dog as he grows into the amazing adult he’s meant to be.   To meet Edison for adoption please complete our application on the website below and then:   TEXT SARA: 214-549-9905So I can check your application and get back to you! www.dashdog.org General Info - PLEASE READ! *Our $450 adoption fee is based on the cost of rescuing, transporting and vetting each dog; we do not try to compete on prices with municipal shelters whose funds are paid by the city. Our philosophy is to rescue highly adoptable dogs, have them live kennel-free in private homes for temperament assessments and individual personalities. We work hard to match EACH dog with the right family - kids or no kids, other dogs male or female and/or cats. With very rare exceptions all dogs over 6 months will be spayed or neutered PRIOR to adoption - dogs under 6 months will include a spay/neuter date AND referral info for lower-cost surgery if the adopter does not choose to use her or his personal vet. OUR VETS WILL NOT PERFORM SPAY NEUTER SURGERIES UNTIL DOG IS 6 MONTHS OLD.
