Eddie

Eddie is a 5 year old Pitt Mix. He lives with me and my spouse and our 9 year old Lab. We rescued him at 2 months of age. He is up to date on all vaccinations and is microchipped. My husband has been diagonosed with dog allergies and my very young granddaughters who I care for are also allergic. Eddie loves to play fetch many times a day in his fenced in yard. He also enjoys chasing critters.
