My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Edgar doesn't care much for toys, but he does love a good game of fetch with a ball. He can often be found walking around with his favorite ball in mouth. He's house trained and crate trained. No complaints when you leave him alone. He loves taking walks and is a pro on leash. If you like to take long drives, Edgar will be right with you, he's great in the car. Edgar will grunt and spin when he wants attention - which often leads to belly rubs.

Edgar is a sweet, snuggly boy who would do best in a single adult home and for now, with no other pets; no dogs or cats. No kids for Edgar, please. Experienced dog handler required.

If you want to meet this big boy in a little boy frame, apply to adopt Edgar!

More about this rescue

ALIVE Rescue is a sustainable animal rescue group committed to protecting the lives and rights of animals. We believe that every animal has the right to a well-balanced, socialized and fulfilled life. We take on the responsibility to save, rehabilitate and place abandoned, abused and stray animals. Our rescue permanently houses and cares for the animals that cannot be placed into forever homes for the duration of their natural lives. We provide medical, behavioral and physical support for animals despite their age, health, and/or breed. At ALIVE Rescue, we promote sustainable living and care-giving by building awareness, appreciation and respect for all animals and the environment within our communities. We constantly work to educate the public on current animal issues, including the benefits of spaying/neutering pets.

Since our formation in 2008, ALIVE Rescue has rescued more than 1,600 animals in the Chicago area.
