About Edric
Please note that you should not apply to adopt Edric if you have sheep as he is frightened of them.
Edric (or Eddie) is an active boy looking for a home to call his own! He can be puppy-like, but is not a puppy. He’s a clever fella and is still learning about the world. Could you be the one to go on that journey with him?
Edric can be quite shy upon first introductions. It is likely this young dog has never been treated like a companion or a part of the family, and he isn’t used to life indoors. Although he’s learning appropriate behaviours in the house, he seems to prefer to be outside, watching in through windows and glass doors. When he is inside, he loves to “watch” animal shows on TV, and tries to find where the noises are coming from. Edric gets particularly excited when he can hear dogs barking “inside” the TV!
Edric needs daily walks and a home with lots of space so he can run and play outside. No apartments or small units, please. He is learning obedience and commands, and as he is quite the smarty pants he should excel with regular training.
Edric is fine if he’s outside, so long as he can see or hear his people moving about inside. Edric gets along well with other dogs, and needs to be a part of a dedicated family, perhaps with older children who will take him out for runs, and who will put in the time and effort that he deserves to train and play with him.
And if you are looking for a wonderful duo, Edric and Enna would love to find a home to share. They were best mates for the two months while they were held together in the pound and do have a special bond.
Edric is looking for the opportunity to learn what it is to be a part of a loving home. He will surely be a treasured family member!

Adoption details
We are a community fostercare network, not a shelter, and our dogs and cats are cared for in private homes. Note that we are very careful where we rehome our dogs and cats and we have an intensive process. If you want a quick turnaround we are not the group for you. If you seem like a good match for the dog of your choice we will organise a telephone chat, a meet and greet and a property check. We offer a six-week full refund, free assistance for six weeks for any issues, and a lifetime takeback policy with a fifty percent refund of the adoption fee, and of course an invitation to our adopters’ Christmas party.
We care for our dogs and cats and we want you too as well. We know that genuine applicants have no trouble with this process and understand that if we refuse you a dog or cat, it is because you are not the best match for that pet.
Our commitment to the dogs and cats in our care is total and we treat each one as if we are passing on a family pet. This may not suit you so we point out that there are equally great dogs and cats available in pounds, shelters and with other rescue groups.

Please note that we do not take/make telephone calls prior to receiving an application.
Commonly asked questions and their answers are provided when you email us. Unfortunately we usually will not have time to reply to enquiries in more detail and will give priority to completed applications over enquiries. Priority will also be given to typed applications which are easier for us to read and to copy relevant parts.
We look forward to receiving your application.
This pet has been adopted and found love with its new family.
