🌟 Meet Ted! 🌟 This magnificent boy, around 1.5 to 2 years old, is an absolute gem just waiting for his forever family! With a heart so big, it could burst, Ted's gentle demeanor and submissive nature will melt anyone's heart. He may take a moment to warm up, but trust us, once he does, he'll be your loyal sidekick, never too far from your side! ❤️ Ted gets along fabulously with dogs of all sizes and is also cat-friendly! 🐶🐱 Can you believe he’s been the BEST foster daddy to two tiny puppies? Talk about being a patient playmate! 🥰 While he hasn't had the pleasure of meeting children yet, his skittishness means he’d do best in a home with older kids who can respect his size and enthusiasm. Remember, he doesn't mean to be rough; he’s just a big ball of excitement! 🎈 Now, let’s talk about the little things that make Ted special. He is house trained and walks fairly well on a leash—unless a squirrel decides to dart by, of course! 🐾 While he may need a little help with basic obedience, he’s picking up commands in his foster home like a champ! And oh, the joy he found in playtime! 🎉 Though he may occasionally mistake a beloved slipper for a plaything (no harm, no foul, right?), he’s easily redirected to something more appropriate! Poor Ted had a rough start, being surrendered by his owner and spending time in a kennel. This has left him with a touch of confinement anxiety. But here's the good news: when crated with other dogs nearby, he settles down in just a few minutes. And when it’s bedtime, you’ll find him happily snoozing at the foot of your bed, completely cozy in his doggy dreamland! 🌙😴 The ideal home for Ted would be a moderately active space where people understand the lovable quirks of shepherds—he’s more of a laid-back fella compared to others! Importantly, he definitely needs a canine companion to make him feel secure. A furry friend by his side can work wonders for his confidence! So, if your heart is ready for a big, sweet boy like Ted, make sure to *apply through the Buddy App*! This lovable pup is waiting to fill your life with joy, laughter, and endless tail wags! 🥳❤️
