Edgar is an energetic and goofy guy. This handsome boy enjoys walks, treats, and playing outside. While he doesn't care much for toys, he does love a good game of fetch with a ball. He can often be found walking around with his favorite ball in mouth.
Edgar is house trained and crate trained. No complaints when you leave him alone, either. 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 with no other pets, and with an owner who understands his need for space from time to time. No kids for Edgar, please. For the right, patient owner, Edgar will come to you and give lots of snuggles and love.
If you want to meet this big boy in a little boy frame, apply to adopt Edgar!
