About Teddy

Think you are the one? Submit an application! Meet Teddy, affectionately known as "Teddy Bear" by his foster mom. This gentle, approximately 13-year-old male Yorkie mix is a petite fellow weighing just 10 pounds. Teddy is a sweet and easy-going companion, getting along well with small-to-medium-sized dogs. However, big, boisterous dogs can sometimes overwhelm him. He's looking for a loving retirement home where he can relax and enjoy his golden years. Teddy is a low-maintenance roommate who eats well—though he prefers small kibble, especially after a major dental that leaves him with just four teeth up front. Potty training is still a work in progress since Teddy wasn't taught to go outside earlier in life, but he's making strides with encouragement. He responds best when taken outside first thing in the morning and likes having easy access to a yard. Because of his age, occasional accidents happen, but he's familiar with potty pads, so keeping one out would help him feel comfortable. Teddy may have slight vision and hearing issues—common in seniors—but these don't slow down his curiosity or spirit. He enjoys snuggling into his kennel at night with a cozy bed and blanket, making for peaceful, undisturbed sleep. Teddy would do best in a calm home, ideally with older children who understand the needs of senior dogs, as young kids might be a bit too energetic for him. If you’re looking for a mild-mannered, loving little guy to keep you company, Teddy is ready to become your devoted companion. Start your journey together! Apply now.
