One thing we do know about Edison is that he is a world class snuggler! He spent a recent afternoon at an adoption event en- cased in the arms of a volunteer and stayed there for the duration of the event. Edison is pretty easy to walk and has been friendly with the other dogs he has met at the shel- ter. Like most puppies, he will need training to work on typical young dog issues such as mouthiness and jumping. He also displayed some minor food guarding during his temperament evaluation that should be monitored by his new family. Little Edison is really a diamond in the rough waiting for a loving family to give him the time and energy Are Your Auto Rates Going Up? he deserves. Come meet this cutie ASAP! 716-851-5694
