Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Teddy was found severely matted and abandoned at a construction site along
with his friend Sunflower. He had a hard life before he came to Real Good
Dog Rescue – but you would never know it by his personality! This dog is a
JOY to be around, he loves to play with toys and act silly but he also
loves to lay on your lap and get belly rubs. We think Teddy is a Maltipoo
(Maltese/Toy Poodle mix) and he is a small guy weighing in at right under 8
lbs. We had to shave Teddy down due to his matting but his cream/white
curly fur should grow back in no time. He is about 1-2 years old and
heartworm negative, neutered, and microchipped. Teddy is housetrained, good
with cats and other dogs, walks very good on a leash – he is the PERFECT
first dog or new addition to a family.Teddy's adoption fee is $200
The ideal home for this Real Good Dog will have a secure fenced yard. A solid history of excellent vet care for current or previous pets is required. Preference will be given to applicants who have specific breed experience.
Please visit www.realgoodrescue.com to submit an electronic application if you are interested in adopting this or any other Real Good Dog.
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.
