More About Me: Teddy Bear has just arrived. We met Teddy with his owner a few times and he was a sweet boy. He was happy and loving. His person is now deceased in a brutal attack. We suspect that he was in bed next to her at the time of the attack - as he did sleep with his owner. However, since the trauma he is very leary of people and needs time to adjust. He is a great companion and very devoted to his person or persons. He seems to be more attached to women but is now warming up to the male in the foster home (asking for pets, kisses, and snuggling) – he did take considerable time to warm up to the man - but it could have just been needing time to adjust after the attack he witnessed. He loves his people to no end and loves to follow them around and be with them. He is 100% housetrained and very consistent with his housetraining – even getting used to a dog door. He can be barky with visiting strangers and when he cannot be with his owner – but his prior owner had him debarked so his bark is very muffled. Teddy is uncertain about what has transpired and who he can trust, which is to be expected. He needs time to adjust and get used to his people and surroundings. Poor Teddy needs a new home to call his own where he is again the light of someone's life. Teddy would be best suited in a home with a single woman or a couple women. He would love someone who is able to be with him a lot, but he does crate up well and does fine in the home alone – he just loves to be with his people. He loves to snuggle and be held and enjoys his walks. He is an extremely loyal dog that shines with his people.
History: Teddy has found himself homeless due to unfortunate circumstances. The lady that cared for the Peanuts Dachshund pups (Schroeder, Charlie Brown, Linus, Peppermint Patty, Woodstock and Momma Lily) from 1 wk old until they came to us was murdered http://www.idahostatesman.com/2012/02/29/2014717/40-year-old-woman-charged-with.html Teddy and Eve (2 yr old Aussie mix) have now found themselves in the shelter and homeless. We had both dogs pulled from the shelter.
NWIPR IS AN ALL VOLUNTEER REGISTERED NON-PROFIT 501c3 PUBLIC CHARITY
Your adoption donation is used to care for and vet the many dogs that enter into rescue from overcrowded shelters where their time is running out-ultimately they are on death row. Your adoption donation goes directly to the care of the many dogs that enter into rescue. All dogs leave rescue vaccinated, sterilized, microchipped, wormed, flea treated, and medically checked out. In some cases they receive dentals, ear flush, surgeries, and so on to ensure that they are healthy and ready to be adopted. Your adoption donation is very much appreciated and needed to help care for the many needy dogs that enter into rescue. New adopters receive a FREE exam coupon at a local veterinary clinic in Lynnwood OR a $30 care voucher to a veterinary chain (so be sure to ask about these coupons if you are interested). NOTE: Please do not email for more dog info. This is all the info available until approved application is received and then you can talk directly to that dog's foster home for further info. Thank you!
NWIPR's adoption process includes completion of an adoption application, a vet check, screening, in person meeting, a home visit and a lifetime adoption contract. NWIPR is the pet's advocate and will select the most suitably matched home for the dog's general and unique needs, therefore adoptions are not done on a first come first serve basis. We reserve the right to refuse service and adoption for any reason.
PLEASE NOTE: The information contained within this pet's biography is based on observations from the current foster home. NWIPR is very honest about the pet's behavior and needs (and provides up to date information), we cannot guarantee they will behave in the same manner in a different environment with new owners as individual household dynamics vary greatly.
CONSIDER FOSTERING A DOG
***Do you or someone you know have the desire to help a rescue dog? If you have a loving heart, dog experience, a safe and secure yard and the notion to make a difference, please consider fostering a rescue dog. There are MANY dogs that we just do not have room for and just one person can make a world of difference to a dog that needs a safe place to rest his or her weary paws.....***
