Hi, it’s me, Teddy, and I am ready to find my FUR-ever home! If your looking for a true companion and a velcro-dog, I’m your guy!

I am a young 2 year old weighing in at 36 pounds. My journey hasn’t been easy—
I was picked up as a stray with dislocated hip possible due to been hit by a car. I had severe fly strikes on both ears and was extremely dirty. I was then scheduled for euthanasia at an animal shelter. Thanks to FUR, and my amazing foster home, I was rescued and had an orthopedic surgery that fixed the dislocation injury. 

I LOVE people. I do engage with other dogs and am very playful. Since I got fixed my dominant behavior cut down. I love to sit or lay next to my humans and will sleep if they sleep. I eat kibble just fine. Foster mom says the cutest thing I do is: I love to put my head in your lap and rest it there. I love to give kisses and get kisses. And I know how to give Hi-Five!

I do not like dogs that are too aggressive in play. I played perfectly fine with the girl Frenchie who was my size and we were inseparable because she wasn’t to playful. When I met a larger dog who had a lot of energy, it felt overwhelming to me and did growl after some time to let him know I didn’t want to play. Calm simple play is all I need. I don’t have any aggression or destructiveness. 

I’m super loving, I always try to lick hands when someone interacts with me. I have a very sunny disposition.  I do have a stubborn side when it comes to walks. If i get tired I will stop and won’t move till I feel ok. Considering that I had an injury and then surgery, it might be the reason. Giving me breaks during walks is a good idea. I’m recovering wonderfully and my recent x-rays show that I’m just about fully recovered! 

I am crate trained and potty training is going well. I may have an occasional accident but I do whine at the door to let you know when I need to go out. I would thrive in a home with lots of love and attention and accepts me as a family member. I will “cry” if my  human ignores him for too long.  I love to be interacted with and be included in your life. So best FUR-ever home will be with someone who wants a true companion. I am a Velcro dog. But I can be by myself and won’t destroy anything. I live in an apartment now, and I do great as long as I have multiple walks throughout the day.
