My story

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

I am looking for a loving and experienced home for my dog, Teddy, who has been a part of our family for 12 years. He is truly a fun, loving dog. It has been a hard decision, as I love him deeply and have cherished our time together. However, due to his increasing food aggression, I have me to the difficult realization that I can no longer provide the care and environment he needs.

Over time, his food aggression has worsened, and it has started to affect our home environment. He has shown possessiveness over food, which has led to situations where my family and I feel unsafe, especially around mealtimes. Despite trying to manage this behavior, I found that I am no longer able to address it in a way that ensures everyone's safety and well-being.

This decision isn't easy, and it breaks my heart to part with him. Teddy deserves a home where he can be understood and receive the attention and care he needs to thrive. I am hoping to find an experienced pet owner that can adopt him.
