My story

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


My adoption fee has been partially sponsored. Adopt me and pay only $50.00!





Hey there, my name is Teddy! I am a sweet and energetic boy looking for his forever home. I love treats, meeting new people, and going on walks! I arrived at the shelter as a stray, so not much previous infomation is known about me. please ask staff if you have any questions.
Our sweet boy Teddy went on a field trip and here are the lovely things his adventure buddies had to say about him:
`We really enjoyed hiking at Blackwood Farm Park with Teddy. He was a little shy when we first met him, but then he quickly showed his super sweet and affectionate personality. He seemed to especially like my husband, and wanted to rest his head against him whenever we stopped for a break. We got the feeling that he will really blossom when he finds his forever home. He did pull on the leash, so he could use some leash training. We both think Teddy will make a great addition to some lucky family.`


Notes from Teddy`s foster family:
`Teddy is a really great dog and we strongly believe once someone decides to come meet him they`ll fall in love. He`s learning how to be affectionate, and plays very well with our dog. They take breaks, he stays bouncy, and takes turns chasing.
His biggest struggle is just getting into things or chewing. He does understand where the toy bin is, and we can pretty consistently re-direct him now. However, we still need to monitor him, but we have seen growth and give him more freedom to lounge on the couch and outside.
He`s taken to a leash extremely well, only bunnies and cats completely steal his attention. He was nervous around cars initially, but we`ve managed to pair with treats and now he looks to us when they pass :) Additionally, he`s totally unreactive to anything that we pass. Whether it be a reactive dog behind a fence or one we`re passing. He tends to just pull away and to the side or look to us for a treat. Really good default leash behavior :) Mild interest in bikes, strollers, etc but easily re-directed when prompted for attention. He is still a countertop surfer so he can use more help and training with that.
He is such a great dog. Loves to play, will lay & cuddle. Agreeable for going to his ke
