Story
MEET TEDDY BEAR | 135+ POUNDS OF LOVE!Teddy Bear is a handsome, approximately 5 year old Great Dane with a heart just as big as he is! This gentle giant is incredibly sweet, affectionate, easygoing, and happiest when he’s spending time with his people.Teddy Bear originally came to us from Richland County shelter, where he was affectionately known as Monty and had quite the fan club of caring volunteers. Since then, he’s gone by a few names, including Duke and Teddy Bear, but one thing has remained the same: everyone who gets to know this boy falls in love with him!At over 135 pounds, Teddy Bear is a true gentle giant. He loves attention, enjoys being close to his people, and has a wonderful, laid back personality. He’s the kind of dog who will happily lean into you for affection and make himself right at home as part of the family.Teddy Bear has spent time with our team at Play All Day Doggie Daycare, where he’s become a staff favorite. He enjoys socializing and has consistently done very well with other dogs in our care. He’s also spent time in a home environment, where he was described as affectionate and gentle with young children. He’s housebroken, crate trained, knows basic commands, and enjoys going for walks and car rides.Since coming into rescue, Teddy Bear has made wonderful progress. He arrived needing some extra care and attention, and we’ve loved watching him regain his health and confidence. He’s gained much needed weight, recovered nicely from his neuter and gastropexy surgeries, and is up to date on vaccinations.Teddy Bear does have some ongoing medical considerations, including a perineal hernia that is currently being managed with medication. His adoptive family should be comfortable working with their veterinarian to manage his hernia and provide any ongoing care he may need. We’re happy to discuss his medical history in more detail with interested adopters.We would love to see Teddy Bear find a family where he can finally settle in, enjoy plenty of attention, and be loved for the wonderful dog he is. He has been easygoing and social with dogs in our care.After all the transitions this sweet boy has experienced, we’d love nothing more than to see him find a family of his own. He has so much love to give and deserves a place to call home.Teddy Bear is available for adoption through Rico Pet Recovery Ohio. An approved adoption application is required, and meet and greets can be arranged for interested families.Adoption fee: $200If you have room in your heart and on your couch for this gentle giant, apply to adopt Teddy Bear at ricopetrecovery.org.
