Sporting fur that resembles a tuxedo and a heart as big as his playful spirit – our Teddy is ready to bring an immense amount of love and pizazz to an ultra-lucky home! We have all been shocked he has been waiting for his happily ever after for so long given that Teddy does well home alone, is social with other dogs, LOVES snuggling with his humans and possesses stellar potty habits. Teddy’s foster shared with us that since his arrival he was brought “loyalty, gentleness and easy-going charm” into his home which we feel will flourish even more with whoever decides to make Teddy their forever canine companion.
Teddy is a soul that doesn’t let anything get him down. A prime example of Teddy’s resilience has been his continued high spirits and LOVE of running, even though our medical team discovered he may have kidney disease, and he came to us with a history of seizures. The Official Teddy Fan Club will attest that he currently exhibits no signs of either illness. We do, of course, want to ensure Teddy’s next humans are able and willing to monitor and tend to his health a little more than the average dog. In return for your dedication, we are certain that Teddy will share his out of this world essence with your heart and home in spades. Teddy even has his own instagram and youtube pages! Like and share please. https://youtu.be/oP4crkftGkA?si=mePaPw0UFCgzTzPb https://www.instagram.com/teddythefosterdog/
