Saturday's Dog: Meet Mr. Ed

This is Ed.


Ed is an awesome Shar Pei mix from Puerto Rico waiting for his new awesome family to take him to his new awesome home.

I know they're coming....

He's available at Buddy Dog Humane Society in Sudbury, MA and is just the coolest dog you can imagine.

I had the pleasure of spending about half an hour with him last Sunday and, apologies to Bella, but she almost had a new little brother. I absolutely fell in love with this guy. He's a very strong boy even for his short stature but he's playful and fun, loves to lean and give kisses.



He's been in the shelter too long. I think people might be a little afraid of him but if they could only see him romp and play, they'd realize he's just an overgrown puppy with the best personality. Want to help me help Ed get the exposure he deserves? Just click to Tweet his profile - maybe Ed's forever family is reading your Twitter stream right now. :)


Come on - how can you resist those eyes?


UPDATE: Ed was adopted and is now living happily in his forever home! Thanks to all who helped tell his story.

  2. It must be hard to resist bringing a new fur friend home, especially one who hasn't found his furever home and has been waiting a long time.  Hope Mr. Ed finds his home before Christmas.

  3. He sounds like a great dog! Hope he finds a home for the holidays!
    I didn't realize today was an adopt-a-thon. Thanks!
    I know just the perfect dog to go blog about now. :-)

  6. Ed is so handsome and looks like a lot of fun ... I think he and Frankie would be great mates.  I hope he finds his forever family soon:)

  7. Mum says he's a bit of a dream-boat! Deccy x

  8. Ed is a real cutie. I love the play shots. Those need to go with his adoption page.

    I'm going to tweet your post now.

  9. I thought I commented yesterday, but I don't see it. Anyway, he sounds like a great dog, and I hope he finds a home! It is so hard when you fall in love with one, but you aren't ready for a new one just yet. That's exactly what I'm going through right now too! Anyway, thanks for letting me know about the adopt-a-thon yesterday!

  10. Hi Donna, I'm certain you did comment yesterday - Disqus has been acting up for me lately and some posts show up then disappear and others don't show up for a week. I just haven't had a chance to debug it yet. (I'm STILL recovering from Thanksgiving. ;)

    To be honest, I fall in love with every dog - I'd have a house full of them if my husband (and Miss Bella) would let me.  But this little guy, so friendly and fun and kissy and cuddly, all the while with that wrinkly worried look on his face, was hard to resist.

    I saw your post about your own adoption concerns but haven't had a chance to comment yet.  I do know what you're going through there and want to respond thoughtfully. I'll swing over shortly.  In the meantime, thanks for the shout-out. :) Ed got quite a bit of attention from it.

  11. Thanks for the Tweet, Pamela!  I wish I had gotten better play shots but he took us so by surprise, I wasn't ready.  I'm lucky I got any shots at all.  I don't know why, but we didn't expect him to play zoomies like that.  Maybe because he looks like such a "toughie"?  We were laughing too hard to get a good shot of it.  

    But yeah, we're uh, shall we say, working on getting 'different' shots on the adoption pages. (Long story...) That's kind of why I'm featuring dog's here on Saturday's.  I didn't realize when I started that you do the same thing on Wednesdays.

    Thanks for dropping by and Tweeting Mr. Ed. :)

  12. LOL - I thought that first picture made him look like he's just waiting to be somebody's hero dog.  And yeah, I think he's pretty dreamy, too.  :)

  13. Aren't they awesome? And the wrinkled brow - he always looks a little worried...  So dear.  

    Thanks for visiting!

  14. Oh Jodi, I was sooo close. ;)

    Unfortunately, Bella's just too unpredictable with other dogs and lord knows how should she would handle another dog on "her turf" or, more critically, sharing my attention...  

    THAT's a story for another day but I have to be very aware of petting or playing with other dogs (or, well, even my husband) when Bella is around.  Add it to the list of things we're working on with her... :(

    Thanks for dropping in!

  15. Hi Nola! Yeah, I thought he was rather regal looking myself. :)

  16. Whew, Hi Ann!  Thanks for visiting. Your comment disappeared for a while (blog domain stuff) but I finally got it back again.  Sorry about that.

    He is a pretty boy - and you wouldn't believe how sweet he really is - I couldn't get as many pictures as I wanted because he kept trying to kiss me!  Just a love.

    I think he'll find his home soon.  At least I sure hope so.

    Thanks again!

  17. Hi Ellen, oh you have no idea!  I know I have to be detached (can't bring another one) but sometimes it is so, so hard.  And Ed was definitely one of those times.  (Especially since I think he would be a good temperament for Bella.  :o )

    But I can help in other ways and this is one of them...  Thanks for visiting.  The more people who see his story, the sooner he will get "home".  :)

  18. There it is.  I KNEW you had commented yesterday.  Sorry - domain changes freaked out my disqus account.  Should be all set now. :)

    Thanks for blogging about Pearl, too.  Every dog that needs a home, needs all the exposure we can give them.  Good luck with your decision... :)

  19. Oh Sue, (btw, I thought I wrote this already...) I SOOOOO thought of Frankie when I was with him.  He's a big runner/zoomie kind of guy, not sure how big he is on the rough and tumble.  I do think he would be a good mate for Bella, much like I think of Frankie, but alas, unless I want a divorce, that's not a possibility.  Here's hoping the attention he gets here will bring him to the sights of his new forever family!

  20. Ed is a beauty; hoping someone snatches this playful boy up into a wonderful home soon.

  21. Looking good there Mr. Ed.  Here's sending you positive energy to attract your forever home!

  22. Ed got a LOT of publicity from this post (THANK YOU all who posted/tweeted/etc!) so I'm hoping the right person at the right time saw him and wants to bring him home for Christmas.  He's so handsome but his personality is just over-the-top sweet - he deserves to be "Home for Christmas". :)

  23. Hey Rumpydog! Thanks for that good karma - if Ed's going to find his new home for Christmas, we need all the good thoughts we can get!
