Dame Edna: The Tiny Shadow Who Just Wants to Love YouAt just 12 pounds, Dame Edna may be a senior lady, but don’t tell her that—she seems convinced she’s still a puppy! This sweet little companion has settled beautifully into foster care and is proving to be an easy, loving housemate. Edna is completely house trained and hasn’t had a single indoor accident. She’s also crate trained and will often choose to relax in her crate on her own when she wants some quiet time. Most of the day, she’s content to follow her people from room to room, lean against your legs, and soak up as many pets and cuddles as possible. Her foster describes her as a very chill girl at home who loves comfort blankets, cozy beds, and being close to her humans. She expresses her happiness with sweet little moans when she’s being loved on and is always ready for some extra attention. Edna enjoys her daily walks and is especially curious when exploring new places and smells. Whether she’s out for a neighborhood stroll or relaxing at home, she’s happiest when she’s spending time with her people. If you’re looking for a loyal little companion who will follow you everywhere, snuggle up beside you, and remind you daily how special the simple things in life can be, Dame Edna may be your perfect match. This dog is up to date on vaccinations and is spayed or neutered. (Please note: Puppies under 3 months old may not be sterilized prior to adoption. If this is the case, your adoption coordinator will provide guidance on the process.) To adopt or learn more about this dog, you must complete an adoption application, which can be found on our website: www.sandypawsrescue.com. PLEASE READ: • If a dog or puppy is listed, they are currently available for adoption. However, they may already be pending an adoption, and their profile may not yet reflect this. • All information is accurate to the best of our knowledge as of the posting date. • Unless explicitly stated, Sandy Paws Rescue does not guarantee the breed of any dog. Breeds listed are educated guesses made by shelter staff, volunteers, or veterinarians. Many of our dogs are mixed breeds, often with pit bull-type genetics, resulting in a wide variety of physical traits and temperaments. Our dogs come from various situations, such as kill shelters, owner surrenders, or as strays. It is likely both parents were mixed breeds as well. Sandy Paws Rescue does not have a public shelter in Massachusetts. Our dogs reside in private foster homes or boarding kennels in the South until adopted. Many dogs are spoken for prior to transport or release from state-mandated isolation. For information on adoption fees, procedures, or FAQs, visit our website: www.sandypawsrescue.com. The FIRST step in adopting from Sandy Paws Rescue is to submit a completed adoption application.
