  — Julie W.

  — Emily H.

• “Hi! I am Edgar. I like people more than other dogs but I am friendly either way. I can be loud and obnoxious when I'm saying hello to potential new friends - i am working on it.“

  — Dawnalyn M.

• “Edgar is a big boy with a bigger bark! Don’t let that fool you though once he knows a person or sees a small dog he turns into a the a 120lbs sensitive poof ball. His hobbies include car rides, getting his hair brushed and napping outside on cold days.“

  — Victoria C.

• “I want to be your Best Friend! I really want to be your Best Friend! I am a proud 1-year old Sheepadoodle, I am half English sheepdog and half standard poodle. I adore everyone. I am very social and enjoy playing with other dogs. I am very tall standing on my hind legs at about 64 inches, and I will stand on my hind legs to give you smooches. 😘“

  — Jody T.

• “Hi there! Im Edgar! I'm a happy go lucky pup who's nuts about balls! I love any ball I can find!! I was found twice as a "stray" and taken to the local Humane Society, the second time Noone came to claim me so my mom and dad adopted me!! I'm so loved and happy and I just have to constantly be on their laps or at least touching them! Did someone say ball!??!“

  — Janell M.

• “Edgar is a little firecracker who loves to sniff, learn, and play. At first glance, he may appear to be a terror but if you look past his grouchy exterior you will discover a brilliant, silly, loving and neurotic dog who is still learning to trust his surroundings. He can be a Karen with unfamiliar people and dogs, but once you’re in his inner circle you have a friend for life. He just needs time, space, and trust. Don’t we all?“

  — Erin H.

• “Hello! My name is Edgar, as in Edgar Allan Doge (it sounds similar to Poe) I am a Rat terrier and I love my mom and dad...that's it. I love them. I am the baby. No one can tell you different. Don't look at me and don't try to touch me unless I come to you. Mom says I'm a jerk. Dad says I'm selective. I say both are right. I'm sassy. I like to run fast and I kill my toys. Typical terrier attitude.“

  — Jenna M.

• “Hi my name is Edgar Allan Poodle! I’m a very sweet boy once I know I can trust you, otherwise to strangers I appear very stand-offish. I love spending my days being a 63lbs lap dog and demanding pets and cuddles every minute of the day. I love visiting my litter mate, Rose, on the weekends but that’s the only dog I like. I used to be a well socialized dog that liked going to the dog park but a scary dog attacked me a couple years ago and now I’m afraid of even the tiniest dog. That’s why my mom joined this app in hopes of finding a dog park that I can play and run around like I used to.“

  — Kailey H.

• “Hi my name is Edgar!!!! I am a 3 year old Plott Hound Mix. I am brindle in color with pops of orange in the sun. I weigh roughly 50 pounds. My life has been amazing with a few bumps on the way. I live in a neighborhood where a few off leash dogs have attacked me and really roughed me up. So I currently look aggressive towards other dogs because I don't want to be attacked anymore. So I am leash/dog reactive!!! HAVE NO FEAR!!! I am currently enrolled in training/obedience class and its not my favorite thing to do but its helping me be more confident and not so afraid. I also get to travel to New York this summer for further classes that will really help me out. So until then I am a dog that likes to be prowl on his own. I really hope you can understand. I'd love to come play and sunbathe in your yard:)“
