My story

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

*** I have a video starring ME for you to watch! Click through my pictures, and youandamp;#39;ll find it there! ***andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Dear Potential Family,andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Shakespeare once wrote about andamp;quot;strange bedfellowsandamp;quot;, but can I just be your everyday and normal bedfellow? My name is Teddy, and Iandamp;#39;m a handsome gentleman who is in his retirement years now and would like to find a home that wants to make me king of the castle, and a bedfellow too - should you need one. I was recently surrendered to the shelter, and while itandamp;#39;s nice here with new friends and everything, I would love to get into a place to call my own. andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;I am seven years young, and I love to play! Iandamp;#39;m also really smart and know how to ‘sitandamp;#39; and ‘comeandamp;#39; on command! My friends at the shelter keep telling me they love taking me on walks because Iandamp;#39;m such a good boy. I walk calmly and at a gentle pace, and I love to share the road with another shelter buddy or two or three. I do love to snuggle, and Iandamp;#39;ll rub up against you for some quality canoodling time. Iandamp;#39;ve been on a furlough at a staff memberandamp;#39;s house, and she loves me! Iandamp;#39;m housebroken, and I did get to sleep in bed with her. She says Iandamp;#39;m perfect. Iandamp;#39;m not sure about that necessarily, but I try hard to be a good boy, and I love to please my humans. andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;I can sometimes be a little set in my ways. I donandamp;#39;t always like to share my toys, so Iandamp;#39;d prefer older kids who understand that. And while weandamp;#39;re chatting about kids, if you have any, Iandamp;#39;d really like to meet them before we go home to make sure weandamp;#39;re a good fit! andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Can you come to the shelter and ask for me? My dance card is pretty open, and Iandamp;#39;d sure like to have a chance to love you.andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Love from Teddy andlt;br/andgt;
