MILPITAS, Calif. (UPI) -- A California wing of the Humane Society said a "terrible dog" found a new home thanks to an online post listing the reasons people shouldn't adopt him.

The Humane Society Silicone Valley said in a post titled "A Full Disclosure Blog: Three Reasons You Don't Want to Adopt Eddie the Terrible" that the small dog thinks its Cujo time whenever he spots another canine, hates sleeping in his crate and is not a fan of children.

"Want your kids to grow up with a full complement of fingers and toes? Not the dog for you," the post read.

"Let's face it: unless you're looking for a dog that's a little bit of work, Eddie The Terrible is not the dog for you. We know, we know. He's super loyal, easy in the house and a lot of fun but he's a little rough around the edges. Actually he's kind of a jerk. But he's a jerk we believe in. We're not expecting you to  want to meet him but if you must, we really can't deter you. 

"If you love a challenge, are looking for the dog of a lifetime and think you can handle the thirteen pounds of terror that is Eddie, we won't stop you. You just go ahead and call 1.408.262.2133 ext 150. But don't say we didn't warn you."

The Humane Society said the post, which included photoshopped images of Eddie on famous horror movie posters, was successful in drumming up interest in adoption and Eddie has found a new home with a family experienced in dealing with difficult dogs.
