EDNA - HOUND / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Posted Breed: Hound / Mixed. Meet adorable Edna (previously known as Victoria), an 8-month old (as of December 2023), 29 lb., hound puppy mix. Edna came to PAW with 4 of her littermates this summer. Edna is in foster care and learning and adapting every day to her neighborhood, friends and dogs. She is very affectionate and energetic and attaches quickly to everyone around her. She is loved very much by her foster parents and did well with all members of the boarding and doggie day care facility she attended when her foster parents occasionally left town, ie over the holidays. She’s playful, friendly, happy, accepts house guests well, and is so fun to be around! Edna is still learning basic commands. She does like to run and bark with the pack but can be easily settled with a variety of chew toys, as she will play quietly by herself for quite a while. She sleeps quietly through the night – yes, she will expect to sleep with you - and you can expect her to initiate contact as morning grows close. Edna enjoys going to parks, restaurants and breweries. She is good on leash but could use some on-leash training when she sees other dogs; she is lanky, fast and loves to run. She is mostly housetrained but needs ongoing reinforcement at her age but her healthy appetite will help with training. She is also very easy to re-direct. Edna adapts well to her surroundings, is an absolute joy to have in the house and is an excellent watch dog. She takes direction from older, mature, dogs well. Edna will play by herself in the backyard (we recommend a fenced yard for her because she loves to run) and keeps herself entertained when a human or other dog is not available to play. Importantly, she is quite the little lady when it comes to resources and never challenges her foster fur brother when food or treats are being distributed. She never growls or bares her teeth around other dogs. Edna is looking for a loving home with people and dog(s) who will play with her and show her tons of affection. She is a very sweet and happy girl who can't wait to find her forever home. She does bark regularly (but not excessively) so she may not be ideal for a close apartment/condo-type situation. PAW places animals in the Washington, DC/Baltimore Metropolitan area only.
