Eddie in Reno, NV

Here is Eddie with his new mom…

Eddie is a two-year-old, extremely handsome Blenheim boy. He came into rescue from a breeder release, and lived in a pen with several other dogs and little human socialization. He was very timid and shy because he has never been around people. Eddie has come a long way during the short time he has been in rescue.

Eddie now loves to jump on the couch and lay next to you while you rub his ears. He will follow you everywhere, never letting you out of his sight. He is trying so hard to trust people, but it will take him some time. Once he learns to trust, he will be a classic Velcro Cavalier. It has been so heart-warming watching Eddie see and do things he has never done before. He keeps looking at dog toys but isn’t quite yet sure what to do with them.

Eddie will need someone willing to bond with him, and show him lots of love. He cuddles with his Cavalier foster brother and gets along with all dogs. Eddie hasn’t been kid or cat tested.

Eddie likes walks, but is still learning to walk on a leash. Eddie is crate trained. He goes to bed in his crate, and sleeps through the night. (It is likely, however, that Eddie would much rather be in the big bed with his people.) He loves going outside to explore the yard and to meet the neighbors.

Eddie has been neutered and is up to date on shots. He is heart clear and has sparkling white teeth. His left eye has dry eye and will need drops twice a day, probably for life. He is a sturdy, healthy, big Cavalier boy. He weighs in at 22.7 pounds. (There is no fat on this boy, he is just a solid guy.) He consistently knows to go outside to potty. Eddie likes running around outside, so he needs a completely fenced backyard.

Eddie needs someone with dog experience, and who has time to socialize him and show him how to trust people. He is afraid of loud noises and doesn’t like to be chased. Once he trusts, he is a little lover. His safe places are his crate and a blanket on the couch. Eddie has potential to be a great little hiking buddy and companion. He just needs someone to bring out the love he has to give.
