My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Important Facts About Tetter Totter
Dogs: Teeter Totter lived with other dogs in his foster home.
Cats: Unknown
Kids: Unknown
House-trained: Teeter Totter is still young and working on their house training.

Teeter Totter is a sweet baby with so much affection to give. He’s still in the process of learning many things but he is very quick at picking up new ideas. He loves other dogs but needs slow one on one intros to them. Teeter is an active boy who will help you get your exercise or need a good place to get his wiggles out.

Teeter’s favorite things are: Playing and chewing

But he’s not so into: Long car rides, and loud noises

His special talents are: Showing you his tricks and learning new commands

His perfect day would be: A big breakfast followed by a little play and a long nap and then an active afternoon with other pups. In the evening he has an hour or so of high activity and then so many snuggles!

If Teeter was an ice cream flavor, he would be: Chocolate chip cookie dough, because he’s sweet and fun and a little surprising!


Important facts about Teeter:
1. He has a pretty serious chicken allergy so you’ll need to read the full ingredient list of all food and treats because even non-chicken flavors usually have chicken byproducts somewhere in them and they make him throw up a lot.
2. While he’s mostly house trained he’s still a puppy and needs to be let out to do business every 3-4 hours for best success.
3. He’s very energetic and gets along great with other dogs, but he can be overwhelming if they are smaller or lower energy than him.

If you are interested in adopting Teeter Totter, please visit the shelter during normal operating hours.
