About Teddy
Teddy is a lively 9-year-old Chihuahua with a stunning gold and white coat that’s both shiny and soft. At 15 pounds, he’s small but full of personality. Teddy strikes a balance between playful curiosity and gentle affection—he’ll entertain himself, but he really thrives in someone’s lap. Hard of hearing, Teddy isn’t fazed by noise, but he’s attentive in his own way and loves to be included in all family moments. After spending time outdoors in a coyote-heavy area, Teddy had some initial anxiety about going outside, which his foster helped him overcome. Still, it’s possible he’ll need some patience and reassurance in a new home as he gets comfortable with outdoor spaces again—and accidents could happen early on. Teddy has a severe poultry allergy: chicken, turkey, duck, or anything with those ingredients is a hard no for him, so reading every label is a must. Miss this and his ears swell shut, causing real discomfort. Cuddle sessions and back scratches are Teddy’s favorite; he laps up any kind of attention or snuggling on offer. With his sweet personality and background, Teddy deserves an adopter ready to offer gentle teaching and lots of reassurance. He’s neutered, microchipped, fully vaccinated, reliably house trained, crate-trained, and gets along with other dogs. Leash walks are a sensory adventure for him—he wants to sniff everything and greet everyone he meets. Teddy is in Phoenix, AZ, looking for his second chance and a home where he can fit in and be adored. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
