Meet Teddy 🧸 - Big Personality, Immediate Opening for One (1) Forever Person.
Teddy is a 3-year-old, 9-pound Shih Tzu mix whose confidence is growing daily. Charm? Already fully developed. Belly rub requests? Constant and non-negotiable.
This little guy is smart, affectionate, and runs on one simple fuel: being with his person. Errands, car rides, couch sessions, doing absolutely nothing in particular — Teddy doesn't care what's on the agenda as long as he's on it too.
🐾 Indoors he is blissfully low-key — quiet, settled, and an Olympic-level window watcher. He'll even use his crate like a champ during the day but enjoys a real bed for nighttime snuggles and snoozing.
🐾 His official interests include neighborhood walks, fetch with his beloved stuffy soccer ball, gentle brushing, and belly rubs — which he does not merely enjoy but schedules. Consider yourself warned.
🐾 Walks are going great — he's building confidence, rocking his harness, and has already successfully befriended a like-sized pup. He has also discovered that being carried is a perfectly legitimate form of transportation that offers excellent views, and he stands by this.
🐾 Teddy does have resource guarding behaviors, can sometimes exhibit stranger danger on walks, and is a little sensitive to quick movements around his head, so he'll shine brightest with a patient, dog-savvy adult-only (and pet free) home that appreciates that the best things unfold gradually.
Teddy is not a complicated dog. He just wants what we all want — someone to go through life with, a good walk, the occasional car ride, and daily belly rubs from someone who gets him 🧸🐾

Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable, so for most of the dogs, we are only guessing at the predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each dog as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not by breed label.
We expect that all adopted dogs will enroll in a formal dog training class with their new owners. Obedience and training classes are an excellent way to learn more about your newly adopted dog, gain handling and training experience, and improve your relationship with your pet.
