Eddie, our 4 year old 13 pound chihuahua mix, must have work in the morning. Although we've never actually seen him do a job, Eddie is always the first to call it and go to bed. That's not to say our Eddie is lazy. In fact, between the business hours of 9-5, this guy likes to party. Wait, that IS Eddie's job! Ahh, our little RedBull sales rep must be excited about his potential promotion from "fun ambassador" to "adopted dog".

We suspect Eddie was hit by a car based on the injuries he had when he was found stray. Eddie sustained pelvic fractures, a fracture to his femur requiring the removal of his femoral head (an FHO procedure) and an injury to his eye causing blindness on one side. Eddie has recovered from his FHO, his eye removal, his neuter and his dental, and is doing great! That's a lot for a little dog, but not a lot for a RedBull sales rep.

Extremely friendly (a requirement for his day job), Eddie likes all people including kids. He is good with both dogs and cats and asks that his new home have another dog that he can play with. Eddie is leash trained and loves to go on walks. He is potty trained but sneakily marks in the house occasionally. As Eddie is smart and eager to please, we don't think this would be a hard thing to train out of him. Especially since Eddie likes his crate so much.

Eddie is very happy and easy going. The only thing that spooks him is traffic and occasionally strangers on the street, so a quieter neighborhood would likely be less stressful for him. He is energetic, super snuggly, and will show off to your friends by doing a hand stand when he pees.

Eddie is heartworm negative and is current on his flea and heartworm preventatives.

We know there is a lot of competition for the position of "adopted dog". We also think Eddie is a shoe-in.
