My story

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

Hi my name is Teddy Bear. While I may be a big boi, I am a scared boi too. I need parents that will respect my boundaries and go slow with me. Once I feel safe, I am a loving fella. I would do best in a low traffic home so that I can relax. Not to brag but I am house trained, crate trained, and in a low traffic environment, I am a loose leash walker who moves at a slow pace. I love treats, especially cheese so hopefully my new family will have lots of cheese. Pets from the people I trust are another favorite treat of mine. Guess what: I have the potential to live with cat siblings. Currently, I'm learning how to be more confident around other patient dogs in Play Group here at APA! I am looking for a house with no kiddos and parents with the patience to move at my pace. If you give me my space and a chance to feel safe, I have so much love to give. Talk to a matchmaker to make my acquaintance today!
