Story
Meet Teddy, a two-and-a-half-year-old Retriever/Shepherd mix weighing 60 pounds. Teddy’s story starts with hardship, but it doesn’t define the dog he is today. He was brought in by Animal Control after his owner surrendered him. Teddy had been living in a kennel without proper care, with very limited access to food and water, and poor living conditions. Despite everything he’s been through, Teddy’s heart is still incredibly gentle and trusting.Teddy is a sweet, low-energy boy with a calm, well-mannered nature. He’s friendly, good on leash, and truly a gentle soul who seems grateful for every kind word and soft touch. He doesn’t ask for much—just a safe place to rest, steady meals, and someone who will show him the love he’s always deserved.If you’re looking for a quiet, loving companion who will return your kindness tenfold, Teddy is ready to start his new chapter by your side.
