My story

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


Meet Teddy, also known as Oso. This little 20-pound Gem came into foster care because the shelter was too stressful for him, and he wasn't having it. After being brought into a home he quickly let us know that a crate was not for him, and he cannot handle confinement! So, he was left free range from the beginning and he did not disappoint! This little guy is house trained and has a sweet personality and gets along with dogs his size. Oso can be energetic, playful and seeks affection and attention. Oso will snuggle with you in bed and on the sofa, and although he likes to have his own bed, he prefers his human bed as long as his person is on it! When Oso is inside, he likes to be engaged in play time and he likes to chew on small blankets or bones in lieu of toys. He will remind you to be organized and keep your clothing items up!
Oso likes a couple short walks a day around the block and would like to be in a house with a fenced back yard where he can wander around, do his business and return next to his human. Oso would not be good in an apartment setting as he can be at times a little loud. Oso is PERFECT on the leash and does not react when sees another dog. Although Oso has good manners he is still learning basic commands.
At the beginning Oso is shy and might show a little bit of stress in a new environment, so it will take him a couple of days to warm up, but between us, the best way to win him over is by sharing a sporadic table scrap (the healthy ones) and jerky treats with him. He has a good appetite and likes watermelon, blueberries and cucumbers too 😉
Oso has not been tested with cats, bigger dogs or children. This little fella would do great with a person who enjoys a fun, sweet, affectionate and playful small dog.
He is up to date on vaccinations, flea/tick, and heartworm prevention. He is already microchipped and neutered. If you have dogs or cats, we recommend slow introductions over time. If you have children in your home, we recommend supervision between animals and children at all times.
