My story

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

Edna, our 8 year old 10 pound chiweenie, is a wall-flower. That can be a hard personality trait for a dog as most people (in our experience) want to say hello to every dog they see. It's especially difficult when a dog is as cute as Edna; that's a lot of attention for someone who wants to stay home and read a book. Edna is looking for a quiet place to call her own where no one expects her to party.

Found stray, we were asked to take Edna in after it was discovered that she has epilepsy. We cleaned her teeth and got her started on anti-seizure medication (Keppra, taken 3 times a day; expected to cost less than 10 dollars a month with a GoodRX coupon). She is doing really well on the medication and hasn't had a seizure since we started. Edna will need this medication long term.

Edna does well with other dogs and we expect she would be fine with dog savvy cats. She doesn't have a mean bone in her, but Edna is very timid. Once she gets to know someone, she asks for belly rubs and enjoys pets. Edna REALLY loves meal time and is very food motivated. She does not like loud noises or being picked up, so we recommend only older, quiet kids in her house.

Edna is potty trained, not destructive, and can be trusted alone in the house. She is also crate trained but hasn't had to use one in her foster home.

Edna is heartworm negative and current on her flea and heartworm medication.

It will likely take several months in Edna's new home before our little wallflower truly blossoms. Are you the patient person willing to give Edna the time she needs to overcome her shyness? Apply to adopt at www.stumptownstrays.org
