My personality

My story

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

🆘 Teddy Has Waited Too Long for Love 🐾💔

Teddy’s story is one of resilience and quiet hope. This beautiful brindle American Pitbull mix was found wandering the streets in January 2025—alone, unclaimed, and forgotten. Since then, he’s been in rescue with Journey’s Legacy, but without a foster or open kennel, he’s spent months in boarding, waiting for someone to see him. 😔

He’s only about 1½ to 2 years old, fully vetted, and ready to give his whole heart to the right family. 💘

🐶 Teddy’s Personality:
- Dog-friendly with females (he’s a total ladies man 😉)
- Calm around cats when leashed 🐱
- Sweet with children 🧒
- LOVES snuggles, cuddles, and being held—he just wants to feel safe and loved 🫂
- Requires a fenced-in yard to play and feel secure 🌳

Despite everything, Teddy remains gentle, affectionate, and full of love. He’s stunning, inside and out, and he deserves a family who will never let him go. 🏡✨

📍 Located in Cleveland, TN
🚚 Transport available to other states
💵 Adoption fee: $150

Please don’t let Teddy spend another night wondering if he’ll ever be chosen. If you feel that tug in your heart, message us today. He’s been waiting far too long for someone like you. 🐾❤️

More about this rescue

Journey's Legacy is a small rescue in Cleveland, TN. We save dogs from the local shelter, off the streets, and occasionally owner surrenders if there is room or an urgent need. We have dogs in foster homes, boarding facilities, and the ranch. We specialize in medium to large breed dogs. We are working hard to get laws to change to require pet owners to spay and neuter their pets to stop the overpopulation of animals.
