About Teddy

Teddy is a medium-sized, neutered male Pointer/Pit Bull Terrier mix with a short black and cream coat and a personality that fills the room. His polka dot ears and big heart catch attention, but it's his love for people that sets him apart. Teddy greets his foster mom with so much enthusiasm you'd swear she was a rock star. He thrives on affection, easily winning over everyone from toddlers to seniors, and never backs down from a belly rub. This is a dog who welcomes new friends, whether that’s at a local cafe or on an outdoor trek. He gets along well with other dogs, always ready to romp or run with canine pals. He’s a huge fan of water—splashing in kiddie pools or chasing a hose are personal favorites. Teddy is both crate and house trained, does well on leash, and takes treats respectfully. He knows how to sit, though his exuberance sometimes takes over, and after a day of hiking, swimming, or exploring, he’ll melt into a deep nap at home. Despite a rocky start in life, he's eager for a family who wants a sturdy adventure companion who never says no to love. Teddy’s ready to find a home where no one forgets him or leaves him behind.
