Story
Meet Teddy (Professional Snuggler, Baby-Binky Bandit, and Future Love of Your Life)
Teddy is a 4(ish) year old French Bulldog who somehow survived a very unfair start to life and came out the other side as a total lovebug. Found as an emaciated stray with signs of having spent most of his life kenneled (and likely used for backyard breeding), Teddy is now discovering what it means to be a real dog and he's absolutely thriving.
If you’re looking for a dog who will love your kids more than your kids love snacks….congratulations, you’ve found your guy.
Teddy is:
• AMAZING with children of all ages, including infants.
• Gentle, kind, and careful around little people
• Known to steal baby binkies and attempt to use them himself (we cannot make this up)!
• Fully potty trained.
• Quiet, affectionate, wonderfully goofy and a certified lap-player.
• Comfortable being home alone for 7–8 hours with puzzle toys and rubber toys.
• A burrowing champion who sleeps under the covers until he gets warm and starfishes across the bed.
• Young, energetic, eager to please, and always ready for his next adventure.
During the day, Teddy enjoys short walks, playing fetch with his beloved tennis ball, and helping clean up crumbs left behind by kids (he considers this a vital household chore). At night, he’s a professional cuddler who believes your bed is also his bed.
Teddy loves people, loves attention, and believes every visitor came specifically to meet him. He may jump up to say hello (we’re working on his gentleman manners), but his heart is pure joy.
Important Teddy "Fine Print"
• Does great with other dogs but prefers to enjoy his food, bones, and toys in his own space. If this can’t be accommodated, please take a moment to reconsider whether Teddy would be the best match for your home.
• Absolutely NO kennels. Crates cause him major sanxiety and can risk injury to his teeth (we're certain he spent a significant amount of time confined).
• Needs to eat separate from other animas and have access to his own cozy, quiet space.
• Needs a fenced yard and careful door management (he’s smart, speedy, and has attempted a few door dashes).
• He’s is still leary of baths and will tremble. Gentle, patient spa days are required.
• Loves stealing baby and kid toys (he considers them premium treasures).
• Cats? He has only met one (that we know of) and didn’t seem interested, but we can’t make any promises.
Teddy is smart, silly, affectionate, loyal, and incredibly loving. He wasn't provided the kindness he deserved early in life but he's more than ready to give it..
If your home has room for a snuggle-obsessed Frenchie who will steal your heart (and possibly your baby’s pacifier), Teddy is waiting and ready!
Teddy is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, 4DX tested, dewormed, and microchipped.
