My story

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

Meet Teddy, a brave, three-year-old Schnauzer mix whose resilience shines through his challenging past. Discarded in the harsh environment of the LA projects by his original owner, Teddy experienced rejection firsthand. Attempts to return to what he once called "home" were met with violence, as his owner struck him with a broomstick. Alone, Teddy survived on scraps and navigated busy streets, his vision obstructed by matted fur turned into dreadlocks. When he arrived at our care, he was underweight, with sores covering his body — conditions that took us months to heal.

Now, Teddy is a transformed soul, eagerly waiting to find his forever home. Fostered in Los Angeles, CA, we are committed to finding him a loving and secure family, no matter the distance. Teddy has blossomed into the most affectionate companion, known for his loving hugs, joy for walks, and fondness for treats. His tough times on the streets have made him wary of certain noises and cars, and past trauma makes him nervous about facial grooming. Yet, with patience and love, he reveals his true nature as a devoted and gentle friend. Teddy has thrived in a foster home with two young girls, a dog, and a cat, showing no signs of aggression.

Fully recovered, Teddy now enjoys a clean bill of health, weighs 21 pounds, is housebroken, and even knows how to use potty pads. He responds to basic commands like "sit" and "stay" and is ready to start a new chapter.

To adopt Teddy and welcome a smart, loyal, and incredibly loving dog into your life, please email us at info@TFPF.org.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

1. Once you select an animal, you will be asked to complete an application form. Should you have any specific questions related to the application or the animal of interest, please contact us via e-mail.

2. Upon approval of your application, you will be contacted (via phone or e-mail) to be scheduled for a “meet and greet” with the animal at one of our adoption locations, and an orientation session with one of our adoptions counselors.

Please Note: We reserve the right to refuse an adoption to any family that we feel is not an ideal match for our animal. We also reserve the right to keep our reasons for denied applicants within our organization.

3. There will be a home-check for potential adoptions to ensure that the animal will be living in a safe and secure environment.

4. You will then be asked to sign a legally-binding contract with Fuzzy Dog and Cat Rescue, Inc., and to pay an adoption/donation fee.

5. Once all requirements are fulfilled, the animal will be released to you.

Please Note: If for any reason you are unable to keep or provide adequate care for the animal, we require that you return him/her back to Fuzzy Dog and Cat Rescue, Inc. Our animals are NOT to be transferred, sold, or given to a third-party.
