Story
🐾 Meet Teddy 🐾
~1 year old | Male | 28 lbs | Tripod Survivor
Teddy’s journey is nothing short of remarkable. He came to us after suffering a gunshot wound to his left front leg, resulting in catastrophic injury. Due to the severity of the damage, amputation was the most humane and life-saving option, and Teddy underwent surgery on 11/19. He is now recovering beautifully and learning to navigate the world on three legs like a champ.
Despite everything he’s endured, Teddy remains a sweet, resilient young dog with so much love to give. He has shown incredible strength, adaptability, and a gentle spirit throughout his recovery. At just about 1 year old, he still has his whole life ahead of him and being a tripod won’t slow him down.
Teddy is currently classified as a medical rescue, and his records (including follow-up care) are available for review. He will need to be spayed/neutered prior to adoption, in accordance with Texas Health & Safety Code §828.003.
If you’re looking for a brave, loving companion who has already overcome more than most dogs ever will, Teddy may be the one for you. He’s a survivor and now he’s ready for a fresh start in a forever home. 💙

Why Adopt from Lifeline of Galveston County?
Texas faces one of the most severe pet overpopulation crises in the country. Thousands of healthy, adoptable animals enter overcrowded municipal shelters every year with limited resources and few outcomes.
Lifeline of Galveston County is a nonprofit, foster-based rescue founded to change that reality. We focus on:
Saving at-risk cats and dogs from overcrowded shelters
Supporting neonatal kittens and medical cases
Providing community resources that keep pets out of shelters
Advocating for humane, lifesaving solutions across our region
The pet you’re viewing is incredibly lucky to be safe in our program, and even luckier that you found them.
Setting You & Your New Companion Up for Success
We are committed to long-term success for both adopters and animals. When you adopt from Lifeline, you also receive:
Ongoing support from our team
Access to our adopter community and resources
Guidance on decompression, slow introductions, and adjustment
Rescue pets often need time, sometimes weeks or months, to fully settle in and show their true personalities. We look for adopters who understand that patience, structure, and love make all the difference.
Our Impact
Since opening our adoption center, Lifeline of Galveston County has helped over 1,800 pets find loving homes, and we’re just getting started. When you adopt from Lifeline, you don’t just save one life, you make room for the next animal who desperately needs help.
Together, we create second chances.
