Hi there, I’m Teddy — a tan-and-white Dachshund with a big heart packed into a perfectly cuddle-sized body. 💛🤍 I’m about 2 years old and weigh 24 pounds, which makes me just right for laps, snuggles, and being your constant little shadow. 🐾
I’m a very well-mannered gentleman and I do great for baths and nail trims (I know, impressive!). I get along wonderfully with cats, dogs of all sizes, and the elderly. I haven’t met younger kids yet, but I’d likely do best with calm, older children who understand giving a polite pup a little space when needed. I can be a bit timid at first, but with gentle reassurance, patience, and—let’s be honest—treats, I blossom into a loving, affectionate boy in no time. 💕 Once I’m comfortable, I’m a total snuggle bug and velcro dog who wants to be right by your side. I love to play and run around outside, and snow days? Absolute magic. ❄️✨
I ride great in the car 🚗, listen well, and already know “down” and “no.” I respond especially well to clicker training, and I take pride in being a quick learner. I also have a chatty side—I like to talk and sing, which makes me a surprisingly good little guard dog. 🗣️🎶 Oh—and I’m very generous with affection. I love giving and receiving kisses, and I take my cuddle duties very seriously. 💋 If you’re looking for a gentle, loving companion who just wants to be close to his people, I might be the perfect Teddy bear for you. 🧸💖You can also call the shelter at 479-394-5682 to find out more about me. **************** All animals at HSO are current on their vaccinations and will be spayed/neutered prior to adoption. If not already spayed/neutered, there may be a short delay between when you select this pet and when they are ready to go home.
Breed and age are determined based on observable physical traits. Actual lineage and birth date are rarely known.
Adoption Fees: -$60 for cats -$60 for dogs over 6 years -$80 for dogs 6 months old to 6 years -$100 for puppies up to 6 months
Come visit our pets Tuesday-Saturday, 10am-2pm.
