About

Meet Eddie

  The name's Eddie, though my foster family likes to call me Edwina when I’m being cheeky, Dennis the Menace when I’m extra naughty, and my favorite—Eddie-Beddie-Boo! A Bit About Me: I’m a one-ish year old Jack Russell Mix, neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines and preventatives. My foster mom says I have springs for legs, never-ending energy, and a “nutty” personality—whatever that means! I’m quite mouthy and might have some herding breed in me, which adds to my unique charm. I came in as a stray, clearly never socialized, and with no basic training. New things, especially new people, scare me, and I will bite if I feel cornered. My foster mom is helping me build confidence, but it’s a long journey. So, whoever adopts me needs to know that the dog they meet initially won’t be the dog they ultimately get. Getting to Know Me: When meeting new people, my foster mom advises them to ignore me completely, even if I’m barking and sprinting around. This helps take the pressure off and lets me get used to new smells, sounds, and movements. Typically, it takes about 30 minutes of being ignored before I show my true self. The Real Eddie: Once I warm up, I love exploring backyard woods, standing on tables and chairs, zooming around at 100 mph, thrashing in kiddie pools, and playing with other animals—though I can be dominant with male dogs. I’m also very mischievous, in true Jack Russell fashion. My foster mom says I’d be a TikTok star because I’m constantly entertaining! I love stealing toys from my human foster siblings and making them chase me to get them back. My Ideal Forever Home: No kids under 13 - I like to bite little kid legs when they run by, just ask the human kids in my home. Playful dog siblings - I will annoy older dogs. Confident cats - I would chase a cat that runs, not to hurt them but to play. Active lifestyle - I’m always ready to run, romp, play, and go on adventures. Patient family - I need to keep working on my confidence with new people, sounds, and places using positive reinforcement. Boundaries - I’m smart and will get into things if you don’t set clear boundaries. Preferred: Jack Russell experience - We are one of a kind! ;) I don’t have resource guarding tendencies, love mealtime and treats, know “go to bed” when asked (I go to my crate), and am potty trained everywhere except the basement. For some reason, I can’t resist peeing in basements, so my foster family keeps that door closed! Ready for an Adventure? If you’re up for a project (me) and want to be constantly entertained, apply for a meet and greet! I promise you, life with me will never be boring!
