I love to play and run around, always ready for a game of fetch or a brisk walk. I'm super friendly and love making new friends, though I admit, I like to be the boss during playtime. I can get a bit nippy when overly excited, so I might do best in a home without little ones. I'm full of energy and affection, looking for someone who enjoys an active lifestyle as much as I do. Adopting me means endless fun and a loyal companion by your side. Let's start our adventure together!March 7, 2026, 2:41 pm

Now, I'm here, bursting with energy and love, ready to bring joy and a few harmless adventures to my forever home. Why adopt me?

Story
Hi There! Are you looking for a handsome, tan, lover boy? I'm Teddy, the guy for you! I am a  2 1/2-year-old dapper, tan Cairn Terrier/Dachshund mix. I thrive on affection. I love being loved - my theme song could very well be "Somebody to Love." There's nothing I love more than sitting and cuddling in a lap, and I'm eager to find that special spot forever. Could your lap be the place for me? I love to run and play in the backyard. I'm very interested in observing squirrels and giving them a good chase. Give me a toy and I am a busy, happy boy.  I also come with a set of skills too- I sit on command, come when called, and walk well on my leash. I'm comfortable around other dogs and am housebroken.  While I'm still figuring out how I feel about cats I get along well with other dogs, and I would do well with older kids, but maybe not toddlers  I tend to bark at people until I get to know them, but with lessons from my foster, I am working on developing better barking manners.  I'm a brave and loving special-needs dog who has experienced seizures over the past few months, each about two months apart. Despite these challenges, I continue to lead a normal like any regular dog - enjoying my walks, playtime, and cuddles just like any other day. Recently, I began taking seizure medication to help manage my condition.  I dream of a place with a cozy human lap where I can live in the heart of my forever family. I would love to meet you and hope you can be my forever place. Are you my somebody to love?
