My personality

My story

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

Hi, I’m Teddy 🐾
A 2–3 year old chocolate guy with a cute little white patch and a heart that’s even bigger than my paws.
I’ve come a long way in a short time. When I first arrived, I was underweight and not feeling my best, but with love, good food, and some TLC, I’ve truly blossomed. I’m healthy now, feeling stronger every week, and ready to find my forever people.
I’m a gentle, easy-going soul who prefers life at a calm and cozy pace. I love naps (snoring included), chew bones, sunbathing, and being wherever my humans are — seriously, I’m your shadow. Personal space? Never heard of it. If you sit down, I will absolutely try to snuggle right in with you like a lap dog.
I take things slow with new people and new dogs, but once I feel safe, my tail starts thumping and the bunny hops come out — especially when food is involved. I’m very food motivated and eager to please, and I’m happiest with calm, low-energy dog friends who respect my vibe.
I’m still working through some separation anxiety, so I’m looking for a patient, loving home where someone is around more often than not and willing to continue helping me build confidence. With consistency and kindness, I keep making progress every day.
If you’re looking for a loyal cuddle buddy with a soft heart, soulful eyes, and endless affection — I might just be your guy.
Best Home Environment for Teddy
• Someone home most of the time
A stay-at-home parent, remote worker, retiree, or someone with a flexible schedule would be ideal.In Short, Teddy is looking for a home that values presence over perfection — one where love, patience, and consistency help him continue the amazing progress he’s already made. With the right setup, his separation anxiety is very manageable, and his reward is endless loyalty, affection, and companionship.
