He brings the best of both worlds: the energy for adventure and the steadiness of an adult who’s settled into his personality. Whether you’re hitting a hiking trail or just strolling your neighborhood, Teddy is always up for it. He’s looking for a home that understands what it means to truly include a dog as part of the family, with plenty of opportunities to play, learn, and—of course—soak up a good cuddle on the couch.
