Meet Edie

Let's Make Her Next Ride a One-Way Trip HomeEdie—Her Heart Is Already PackedEvery time Edie walks through the shelter parking lot, she heads straight for her volunteer friend's car. She stands beside the door, waiting for it to open. Because Edie remembers what it's like to go home, and she wants so badly to go back. After several sleepovers, one thing is clear: Edie is an absolute doll in a home! She's housebroken, with zero accidents, doesn't bark, walks beautifully on leash, and politely minds her own business when passing other dogs. She's curious about cats and may pull toward them. Edie loves affection and being near her people. She'll follow you from room to room and may whine when you disappear, even just for a shower! But she eventually settles, and a secure, loving routine may help her relax even more. She's a little hard of hearing, so sometimes you need to say her name a bit louder. She doesn't climb onto beds or couches, either. She's perfectly happy just being close. Edie isn't asking for much. Just a familiar voice, a gentle hand, and a home where she doesn't have to wonder when she'll be leaving again. Next time she waits beside a car door, let's hope it's the one taking her home forever. This sweet shy girl recently met a social dog at our shelter and did fine. She wasn’t ready to play, but we hope that as she gets more experience in our shelter playgroups, she’ll be ready to show us her silly side with other dogs. Looking for a buddy for your dog? Bring him/her to the shelter for a meet and greet and see if we're a match! Check out her playgroup video here: To meet me, visit the Bradshaw Animal Shelter Tuesday-Sunday, Noon - 5:00 pm, Wednesdays, Noon - 6:00 pm. All adoptions are on a first-come, first-served basis. To help expedite the meet and greet process, please make note of my Animal ID number, and those of other dogs you might be interested in meeting. Be sure to bring your ID with you, too.
