Meet Eddie! Eddie is a 3-5 year old pit (possibly catahoula) mix who came to ACCT as a stray. He is gorgeous. He has crystal blue eyes and looks as though he’s been splattered with paint! His owners up and moved, but left poor Eddie in the house to fend for himself. He is very skinny and very scared at the shelter. Eddie is extremely intellegent. He knows “sit” and “paw” and is currently working on “down” and “drop it” and how to walk nicely on a leash. Eddie is full of life and eager to please. He is very treat and toy motivated! Eddie’s absolute favorite thing to do is play with his toys. Give him a tennis ball and he will be busy for hours. Eddie is fine with body handling, but because of his energy level he shouldn’t go to a home with small children as he may knock them over unintentionally! Eddie seems to get along with other dogs, but will need a slow introduction and should go home with one who won’t mind sharing toys!
Eddie is part of ACCT’s Pen Pal Program. The ACCT shelter has a number of dogs who have been waiting longer than others for an adoptive home. These dogs are smart, loving, healthy, behaviorally adoptable dogs. The Pen Pal Program aims to improve the quality of life for these dogs and prioritize their adoptions. A team of dedicated volunteers have paired up with these special dogs to provide special one-on-one socialization and enrichment through obedience training.
