About Puppy - Eddie (setter mix)
Status: Adopted! Adoption Fee: 250.00 Species: Dog General Color: White with Brown or Chocolate Current Age: 11 Years 10 Months (best estimate)	Location: Lawrence KS 66045 Housetrained: No

EDDIE is a little attention hog and, at 25 lbs he's also the biggest puppy! He loves to run free but he's also a MAJOR lover!! He absolutely LOVES to get under foot and demand you notice him! “I’m here, mom, I’m here, wanta play? Huh, huh, huh??” He adores his humans and would rather follow you around than run around with his brothers and sisters. “I’m here, won’t you play with me? Love me? Scratch me? Talk to me? Anything? Something?” He also loves playing with his siblings and is a rough-and-tumble boy who plays rough. If you’re looking for a bosom buddy or BFF who’s always there for you and with you, then handsome little Eddie may be the dog for you!

THE PUPPIES' STORY: Their momma is Marie (last picture) - a sweetheart of a girl who's also absolutely gorgeous! Tiny and petite for a setter, she was found stray and literally starving, weighing only 31 pounds and pregnant. A good samaritan took her in and committed to keeping her until she could have the puppies and recover her health. She’s finally starting to gain some weight and is now 41 lbs. She’s still super skinny but is on the road to being healthy again! If any of the puppies are half as gorgeous as mom, you’ll have on stunning dog on your hands. PLEASE SEE THE PICTURES OF MOMMA MARIE BELOW.

DOGS:                       Yes, he'd LOVE a play buddy!
CATS:                        Yes
KIDS:                        Yes, super sweet.
IDEAL FAMILY:        An active family who understands that a puppy is a HUGE responsibility - it's like having another baby in the house! A family who will put up with puppy behaviors - chewing, nipping, peeing - and lovingly train EDDIE out of them, lovingly show him through positive reinforcement and direction what "the rules" are.

If you're looking for a “LOVE ME, LOVE ME” puppy
and will commit to train, guide and love him forever,
EDDIE may be your ideal family member!

EDDIE's ADOPTION FEE: $250
This fee covers only part of what we spend to vet, board and rehab the dogs we save. On average we spend over $450 on each dog. We made a decision to keep our adoption fee at the 2005 level even though vet prices have doubled and tripled since then. We are constantly fundraising to cover the deficit. At minimum, your adoption fee includes the dog's spay/neuter, heartworm test, heartworm treatment if needed, rabies shot, distemper/parvo shot, bordatella shot, deworming, monthly heartworm and flea preventives, and microchip. In many cases it also includes surgery and various types of vet treatment for standard issues such as hot spots, ear infections and so on.

STOP!! READ THIS BEFORE YOU GO ANY FURTHER!

We're picky about our adopters.
Are you sure you're up to having a GSD? They're not for everyone. They take a lot of time, effort, training. They shed year round. They're big. They scare lots of people. They "mouth" and herd. They're usually strong-willed and stubborn. You have to have references and a home visit. If you're not willing or able to deal with any of this, please don't waste your time or ours applying.
Will the dog be an inside family pet? We do not adopt to outdoor-only homes. All dogs must be indoor dogs.
Do you leave your dog outdoors when you're not home? We do not adopt to homes that leave their animals outside when they're gone. You must put your dogs indoors when you're gone. A 3 yr old adopted MOGS dog died when the owners went to run errands, left her outdoors, the gate was somehow opened, and she was hit by a car. Tragic and 100% preventable. Even privacy fences get broken into. Gates are opened. Thieves steal dogs. Never leave your dog outdoors when you're not home!!
What's your plan for unexpected events and major changes? New baby? Divorce? Moving? How you will provide for your dog if your family breaks up?
Will you make a lifetime commitment? It's your responsibility to keep your dog safe, loved and cared for FOR LIFE.
Do you understand we expect you to keep that lifetime commitment? It's YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to stick by your family member -- no matter what.
Are you unable or unwilling to make a lifetime commitment? Do not apply.
