About Teddyi

Teddyi is a young German Shepherd, black and tan with a medium coat, currently in Anoka, MN. Neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped, he is just over a year old and has the kind of temperament you hope for in this breed: gentle, tender, and steadily gaining confidence. Sensitive to unfamiliar noises and quick movements, he recovers quickly and shows steady improvement. Teddyi is happiest pressed close next to you, burrowed in blankets, always ready for cozy companionship. He gets along well with the resident female German Shepherd and even tolerates her playful nibbles, though he can get a little jealous if she gets ahead of him. With dogs, Teddyi does best with neutral females; he becomes unsettled around other males. He does well with children and gets along with cats, making him a good fit for families seeking a loyal companion. Though he’s medium framed, he has a powerful bark and finds his voice when someone knocks—he may be reserved with guests at first but remains well-mannered. Plush toys don’t last long with him, but he’s happy to focus on chew toys and loves training when treats are on offer. Teddyi needs a home with a secure yard (not an apartment, no tie-outs, no underground fences), and he shouldn’t be left to live primarily outdoors or in a kennel environment. All meetings are scheduled after an adoption application is approved. Fun fact: With a March 18th birthday, Teddyi’s a Pisces, known for his sensitive and loyal nature.
