SAFE 10/26/17
Hello, my name is Eddie. My animal id is #10431. I am a male white dog at the Manhattan Animal Care Center. The shelter thinks I am about 2 years old.
I came into the shelter as a stray on 22-Oct-2017.
Eddie 10431 is at risk for a respiratory illness (CIRDC). He also has an ear infection and skin allergies. Behaviorally, Eddie has been social and affectionate with his human caretakers and exuberantly playful with other dogs in playgroup. We recommend an adopter with an average amount of dog experience.
Let’s get to know each other a bit more…
A volunteer writes: His smiling face in his kennel invites me to invite him out for a walk. Funny how that works! He’s a gorgeous dog, slender, long legs, clean coat and gorgeous soft eyes. His leash manners are outstanding, he may be housetrained, and with some coaxing, sits for a treat which he takes softly. It’s a busy day in the park as it’s unusually warm, lots of distractions, but Eddie posed nicely for a couple of pictures, gave me some kisses, and put his head in my lap for some petting. My favorite picture of him is as he lifts his head to the sun, closing his eyes in the pleasure of the warmth. It’s no surprise that this sweet boy rocked his behavior assessment across the board, even joining in the game of ‘tag’ with the assessor. He’s been a star in playgroup, too, engaging in soft play one day and exuberant play the next with the female greeter dogs. As of this writing, he’s not been placed with males. Softly gentle , respectful and delish, our handsome Eddie is hoping you’ll stop by to meet him today.

He is tolerant of play and engages in brief soft play when solicited.

ENERGY LEVEL:: We have no history on Eddie so we cannot be certain of his behavior in a home environment. However, he is a young, enthusiastic, social dog who will need daily mental and physical activity to keep him engaged and exercised. We recommend long-lasting chews, food puzzles, and hide-and-seek games, in additional to physical exercise, to positively direct his energy and enthusiasm.
