It’s and this is my favorite part of the radio week because we help an animal in need , and this week we help Edison! Look at those eyes! Ready for his closeup! Wow! And that smile! Could put flashlights out of business with that brightness! With his snowy white fur, stunning blue eyes and heart-melting smile, Edison is truly one of a kind. This sweet 2-year-old isn’t just handsome. He is
also full of zest for life and loves long walks, playful games and puzzle toys that challenge his clever mind while keeping his tail wagging. Edison is also a total lovebug who enjoys leaning in for cuddles and soaking up attention from his favorite humans.
He does have some hearing and possible vision impairments, which just makes him extra special. He is hoping to find a family who will help him navigate the world with patience and love. Edison is looking for a calm, pet-free home where he can feel safe and
gain confidence. In return, he will fill your days with joy, play and plenty of snuggles. Edison
is available for adoption at PAWS Chicago’s Pippen Fasseas Adoption Center, located at 1997 N. Clybourn Avenue. Visit pawschicago.org and make your adoption appointment today! Edison, Awwwwwww!
