Introducing Ted, a delightful 6-year-old Pug/Chihuahua mix weighing in at a charming 18 lbs! 💖 With his sweet and gentle demeanor, Ted is ready to capture hearts and provide endless companionship. Now imagine a boy who is shy but slowly finds his confidence! Every day, he bravely opens up just a little more, and you can be part of this beautiful journey. Ted is the perfect sidekick for those peaceful walks to your favorite coffee shop or brunch spot—just make sure to bring him at least 4 delicious French fries! 🍟 Picture this: Ted lounging comfortably on your sofa, taking cozy little naps at your feet while you work. His daytime agenda also includes gazing out the window, curious about the world and what treats might be in store. Now, isn't that adorable? He's content with his gentle explorations, though he would absolutely cherish a backyard to call his own for those sunny days! 🌞 Ted is still a bit timid around new pups, but in the comfort of his home, he becomes a social butterfly. However, traveling with Ted requires a bit of preparation—it's best to have a cozy carrier if navigating the subway! 🚇 He does have a little medical condition called pulmonary hypertension, but fear not, he's a champ at taking his medication three times a day (just a little bit of trickery with yummy goodies like pill pockets or a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese works like a charm!). Ted's little quirks—like his flickering curiosity and cautious nature—make him a truly unique companion for someone living at a slower pace. Ted thrives in environments that allow him to adapt, and though he’s great with adults and kids (with supervision, of course!), he might need some time to warm up around other pets. If you’re a beginner or if you have some experience in dog care, Ted could just be your perfect match ready for some adventure and love in life! He is available through our foster-to-adopt program, and if you're ready to shower this sweetheart with love, you can definitely *apply through the Buddy App!* ❤️ Don’t wait too long – Ted is ready for this journey, and he’s just looking for a warm heart to call home!
