About Edgar
Meet Edgar! At 6 years and 9 months old, Edgar is not only a handsome gentleman but also a delightful companion who brings both independence and warmth. This mature fellow loves doing his own thing, exploring his surroundings, and savoring moments of solitude, yet he also cherishes quality time spent with his handlers. His unique combination of independence and affection makes him an easy-going and well-adjusted pet.
Edgar is a laid-back dog who isn't particularly fussed about other canines, which can make him a great fit for a home where he can soak up all the attention or coexist peacefully with a calm dog. While he might enjoy his own space, Edgar eagerly looks forward to hanging out with his human friends, providing a sweet balance of companionship and tranquility.
Though Edgar is a delight in many ways, he does have some challenges with vet visits and basic grooming like nail trimming. To help Edgar overcome these fears, positive reinforcement and gentle handling will be essential. With patience, love, and persistence, Edgar can learn to trust these experiences more. Importantly, Edgar is very clean and well-behaved, never causing any destruction around the house, making him a hassle-free housemate.
Edgar promises to bring a sense of calm and stability to your home, along with the joy of his loyal companionship. If you're looking for a loving, mature dog who enjoys both time alone and moments shared, Edgar is the perfect match for anyone seeking a balanced and easy-going addition to their household.

Adoption details
We are not open to walk ins, appointments by booking only. All households members must be present before we can adopt an animal out.
As our goal is to adopt animals out from the shelter into loving homes as fast as possible, multiple bookings may be made for the same animal.
We are not able to hold any animals for any reason.
As such, there is a possibility that the animal you may have found a forever home before your appointment. If this is the case we will inform you by phone call as soon as possible.
