About Teddy

Teddy is a charming senior dog with expressive, chocolate-colored eyes that will steal your heart. After coming to Friends For Life Animal Shelter & Sanctuary in rough shape, he’s now making great strides in his recovery and is eager to find a loving forever home. This playful pup is a bit shy but is learning to trust humans. His sweet personality shines through during playtime, especially when he's snuggling or having fun with squeaky toys. Teddy thrives on social interactions and is friendly with other dogs, though he prefers to meet new ones gradually. He even has a cute little jig that he does when he spots familiar furry friends! Teddy loves going for walks and is keen to learn new tricks; he already knows how to sit and look when prompted. He walks well on a leash and will eagerly perform for treats or scratches. If you want a loyal companion with a playful heart, look no further than Teddy! Chronic allergies require special dietary consideration, so an experienced owner would be ideal. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
