About Teka

Teka is a 52 lb retriever mix packed with energy, mischief, and a huge heart. She thrives on play and has a way of turning everyday moments into something funny—with her zoomies, wiggly dances, and always-sunny outlook. Attention, pets, and snuggles are high on her list, but she’s happiest in an active home that loves her goofy personality. Teka can share her space with another dog as long as they’re up for play and not easily overwhelmed by her enthusiasm; she has a playful streak with other dogs but tends to prefer female friends. Toys don’t stand a chance—durable chews are a must, as she loves to destroy and sometimes nibble on their remains. After a play session, she transitions easily to cuddle mode and soaks up affection. She’s suited for homes with older, dog-savvy kids who appreciate her zest without getting bowled over. Teka’s looking for someone to match her energy, laugh along with her antics, and let her shine as both a comic and a cuddlebug. Click apply to start the adoption process.
