Even “morons” need a place for Thanksgiving.
A young dog up for adoption in Texas found a fur home less than 8 hours after a shelter’s social media post describing the pup’s unique personality went viral.
“This is Eddie, Eddie is a jerk,” the Humane Society of Wichita County said on Facebook about the 1-year-old dachshund mix, along with a poop emoji. “Eddie hates other dogs, he’s 17 pounds and could take on a Rottweiler and win.”
The shelter then claimed that Eddie wasn’t from Texas and that he looked more like a guy you see walking around New York.
“If Eddie had an accent, he’d sound like he was from the Bronx, with a wife-beater t-shirt and a tattoo that says MOM on his arm. If you got into a fight in a bar, Eddie would back you up and confront the 5 guys, put his cigarette out in their foreheads and not spill it. [sic] a drop of your beer while you do it.”
The shelter challenged anyone brave enough to care for Eddie to do so, while he scares the other dogs inside the facility.

“So if you think you’re man enough to adopt him, be our guest. We want Eddie out of here because he scares our big dogs.”
The new information about Eddie was in stark contrast to what the shelter originally said about the dog, according to a previous adoption flyer posted in October.
“This Dachshund mix is Eddie! He is about a year old and is a little nervous about being at the shelter, but he is very sweet once he becomes friends with you! the Oct. 30 Facebook post said. “He is very gentle and we are looking forward to putting him in a good home.”
The unusual new marketing strategy worked, as just eight hours after the original post showing Eddie the temperamental dog, he was adopted by a family who said they had fallen in love with him.

“I’m so happy to say that our ‘jerk’ dog has found his forever home! As long as they keep his cigarettes and beer well stocked and keep him away from the bulldogs watching him from across the yard (although I’m pretty sure he could easily yell at them), he’s going to be fine! said the new owner.

Eddie’s new owners say they’ve received so much attention since the adoption that they created a Facebook page for the dog, aptly titled Ahole Eddie, which has amassed more than 33,000 followers.Linda Brooks
