My story

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

Meet Ted, a one year old Dachshund/Shepherd mix.

Ted was born in his own`s home and that was all he knew until they became homeless and he was living out of the car with them. Understandably he is a bit nervous come to us and leaving all he knew behind but they couldn`t continue to care for him. Ted met another dog and has been hanging out in a staff member`s office, he seems to really perk up when he is around another dog. His owners describe him as a lap lover, being a bit shy at first but loving. He lived with men, women, dogs and cats and did well with all. Ted weighs in at 29 pounds and is a short, long boy. He just needs a bit of TLC to really come out of his shell.
