Meet Teddy (Goose) - Sweet Yorkie Looking for His Forever Home 💙
🐶 Age: ~1-2 years
⚖️ Weight: ~8 lbs
✂️ Status: Recently neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated
Teddy's Story
Teddy spent the first part of his life living in a cage with a breeder and was badly matted and neglected until his foster mom stepped in to get him out of that situation. He has since been groomed and is now safe in her care as a foster, but he deserves a loving, permanent home of his very own.
She promised him that his next home would be his forever home — not temporary, not 'until life gets busy,' but for his entire life.
About Teddy (Nicknamed 'Goose')
Teddy is very loving and people-oriented. He adores humans — especially adults and older gentle calmer kids — and wants to be near his person as much as possible.
• Potty Training: Doing great with potty training, but please always expect a learning curve and patience with any dog in a new environment
• 😢 Separation Anxiety: Teddy does have separation anxiety. If he cannot see a human, he panics, barks, and jumps trying to get to his person. He will need a home where he isn't left alone for long stretches and where his adopter understands his needs. With time and consistency, he will continue to improve as he feels secure
• 🍽️ Food: Good eater and not very picky, currently used to wet food (The Farmer's Dog)
• ✂️ Grooming: As a Yorkie, Teddy requires regular grooming about every 6 weeks to maintain a healthy coat

Ideal Home for Teddy
Teddy has already been failed by humans once — that will not happen again if we can help it.
We are looking for a home that:
• 💰 Is financially able and willing to care for him long-term, including regular grooming, routine vet care, and any unexpected needs (small-dog dentals can be costly! And neglected dental care leads to heart disease and more especially in tiny dogs)
• 👨👩👧👦 No young children: Please no kids under 10. Teddy loves people but does best in a calm home
• ⏰ Not constantly on the go: No families who are gone all the time for work or kids' activities. Teddy needs time, presence, and understanding
• ❤️ Will love him unconditionally, be patient with his past, and work with him on his anxiety and occasional marking, although this should be less now that he has been neutered.
• 📸 Is willing to send occasional updates so we know he is safe, happy, and that the right decision was made for him

Adoption Details
Serious inquiries only ❤️
Teddy is a very special little soul who has been through a lot. He needs someone who will see him as family, not a convenience.
