My name is Bedford. I am estimated to be 8-10 years old, weigh about 14 pounds, and I am missing some teeth.
I am a pretty chill, laid-back pup. One of my favorite things to do is sit on the balcony watching the world go by or sleeping in the sun.
I like to be in the same room with my foster mom and enjoy sitting or sleeping next to her.
My curious nature has me sniffing bushes and grass for interesting smells as I toddle along on our walks outside.
I am cautious meeting new dogs and people, but eventually I may do a little sniffing and then go on my way.
I am not a noisy barker by nature, but I will let my foster mom know when it is time to eat or go outside.
Missing a few teeth has not diminished my appetite, but softer food is preferable. My house manners have become almost perfect.
My foster mom thinks I am a great dog! You should know that when I find my forever person and home my big heart will love you forever!
Bedford will need another small dog in the home or someone that is home most of the time. Children in the home need to be at least 10 years old. He is located in IL
