About Eddie:

Despite having had a rough start to life, sweet boy Eddie is more than ready to find his forever home. Some of his favourite things include; snuggling up on a cozy dog bed, sunbathing and resting his head on your lap while you eat, hoping you let him have a bite (or three).  

Eddie's ideal family is one with previous large breed experience, lots of time for snuggles and space in your heart for this big boy to wiggle his way into. While Eddie is no longer a puppy, we still recommend further training to help him bond with his new family and keep his brain busy. He will need someone to be patient with him as he learns that the world is not so bad after all.

Would suit:

  • Being an only dog
  • No Children due to his size and energy
  • Confident cats
