My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Teddy is a beautiful 4 y.o. yorkshire terrier who was surrendered to the MemphisAnimal Shelter.
He weighs about 9 lbs.
Teddy is a lap dog. He only wants to be held and loved. He apparently had some allergy issues that were not treated. It caused him to have eye problems. We are treating a severe corneal ulcer and keeping Teddy on good quality food with minimal ingredients. He also would do better if he stays away from grass surfaces. He is heartworm negative and microchipped. His adoption fee is $250.

We adopt dogs from Memphis Animal Shelter when we can. The shelter has an 83% euthanasia rate, one of the highest in the country. Unfortunately, any dog coming from Memphis Animal Shelter, and most other shelters for that matter, will have been in contact with contagious illness. Even though the dogs have been in foster care and appear to be in good health, they may become stressed when changing environments and exhibit signs and symptoms of illness. If you have other pets, they need to be up to date on vaccines before bringing a shelter dog into your home. We will take the adopted animal back, but we are not responsible for your other animal's vet care. We always disclose where the dogs have come from. Please ask for any information about the dogs and exercise due caution if you have immunocompromised animals.
