Story
Oh, Edgar. Seriously, just say it out loud – doesn't it demand to be called in some kind of old lady voice, like you're summoning him from a rocking chair? Maybe with a dash of an unidentifiable accent thrown in for good measure? Because when I hear the name Edgar, that’s exactly what I picture. And then, just to make things extra fun, you slap on "Edgar Allan Poe" and boom – now you have a dog with three names, plus all the nickname possibilities that come with them. "Edgar, Poe, Buddy, Fluffbutt—who’s a good boy?!" the options are endless. But wait, the name isn’t all this floof has going for him. Oh no. He’s also cuddly, fluffy, and destined to be the heart and soul of whatever family lucks out and takes him home. Get ready for endless snuggles, people, because this pup is bringing the whole package. Just be prepared to call him 18 different things every time you need his attention.
Edgar is a 4-month-old, 18lb male Border Collie/Great Pyrenees mix. Or at least, that’s our best guess. Don’t be shocked if you do a DNA test and discover he’s actually 2% Chihuahua – because honestly, that’s the kind of twist we expect. We’re just here to throw out guesses because apparently, that’s our job. Now, as adorable as Edgar is, can you even imagine him sitting behind bars in a shelter? Yeah, we couldn’t either. And yet, that’s exactly what happened before we scooped him up into our fluffy butt family. Someone really dropped the ball there, because Edgar is probably the best puppy you’ll ever meet. Whoever let him slip through the cracks clearly didn’t know what they had. Edgar’s got a heart of gold—he’s good with dogs, cats, kids…heck, he’s basically a social butterfly in fur form. And when he gets excited? Watch out, because this cuddle monster is coming in hot with the best hugs you’ve ever received.
Edgar is your classic happy-go-lucky puppy who’s all about the essentials: attention, food, and getting to be involved in whatever fun his family is up to. The whole "4-wheeled contraption" thing is still a bit of a mystery to him, and yeah, he might act a little nervous at first, but put him in your lap and suddenly he's totally fine—because apparently, nothing beats the comfort of your lap when you’re a tiny ball of fluff. Leashes? Oh, he's still trying to figure out why they exist and why they seem so... suspicious. But don’t worry, he has a strong preference for harnesses, because who doesn’t love a good outfit, right? Once Edgar solves the riddle of these “leash” and “harness” things, we’re pretty sure he’ll be all about the adventures. After all, this is a dog who lives for the excitement of being alive. He's happy—happy to go places, happy to adventure, and absolutely thrilled to be with his people. But let’s be real here: Edgar doesn't need to travel the world to be happy. He’d be just as content chilling at home with a dog buddy or getting proper mental stimulation. Edgar’s playtime is brief—he’s all about the “play a bit, nap a lot” lifestyle. And if there’s a human around? You bet your boots he’s snuggling up. As for fetch? Yeah, not exactly his sport. He’ll watch that toy soar through the air, clearly intrigued, but he missed the memo that he was supposed to retrieve it.
Have you ever had a dog literally melt in your arms? Well, Edgar’s your guy. He’ll be zooming around one minute, and then the second you pick him up, he just turns into a big ol’ hug machine. He’ll lean right into you and stay there like he’s not planning on ever letting go—seriously, he’ll stay like that until you make the mistake of standing up. It’s like he’s a fluffy, lovable Velcro dog who just wants all the love and attention. And let’s be real, Edgar could totally pull off the "city dog" lifestyle. Apartment living? No problem. He’ll gladly snuggle on the couch while you sip your overpriced coffee and pretend to work. He's almost potty trained—almost—but let’s be honest, sometimes his excitement at getting out of the kennel just a little bit overshadows his bladder control. Give him a bit more time, though, and you'll hardly ever have to worry about any accidents. As for chewing, Edgar’s pretty good at not getting into things he shouldn't… for now. But let’s be real—leaving things within his reach is like leaving a pack of Oreos in front of you and expecting you not to eat them. It’s just not going to happen. I mean, if you know you shouldn’t, but they’re just sitting there, begging you to break that rule... yeah, Edgar’s got the same mentality. One second, he’s being all cute and innocent, and the next, he’s gnawing on your favorite pair of shoes like they’re a crunchy snack.
Ready to make Edgar a permanent part of your life and add a whole lot of melt-worthy cuddles to your daily routine? Of course, you are! But before you go scooping him up and showering him with love (which, let’s face it, is definitely going to happen), you’ll need to fill out an adoption application at https://www.pyrpawsandfluffytailsrescue.com/adoption-app. We’ll then pass it along to his foster family, and they’ll start mentally preparing for the heartbreak of letting him go.
Oh, and one last thing—if you think you can handle all that cuteness, you’ll need to pick him up in Hutchinson, KS. So pack your bags, set the GPS, and get ready to meet the most adorable pup you’ll ever meet!
