Weighing around 65 pounds and still maturing, this charming boy is searching for a forever home where he can truly thrive. Teddy was raised in one family since he was a puppy and is now being fostered as he awaits the next chapter of his life. What sets Teddy apart is his irresistible blend of affection, confidence, and playful enthusiasm. He enjoys making new friends, will lean in for affection, and relishes every bit of attention before springing into play. Teddy is wonderful with children of all ages and remains gentle despite his impressive size. Adventures are Teddy’s specialty—he especially loves outings to dog parks. Teddy attends doggy daycare twice a week, where he socializes and plays happily with fellow dogs. He would do well in a home with another playful canine companion or an active family eager to keep up with his energy. As a true athlete, Teddy has been known to jump fences, so he requires a secure yard with a tall, reinforced fence or a family willing to provide ample supervised outdoor time and structured exercise. Reflecting the instincts of many German Shepherds, Teddy is driven to chase small animals, so he’s best suited to a home without cats or with very cautious introductions and careful management. On leash, he generally does well but may react to other dogs in certain scenarios. Teddy is both house-trained and kennel-trained, travels smoothly in the car, and brings a solid base of basic obedience to the table—plus, he’s eager to learn even more. With his confidence, affection, and trainability, Teddy is ready for a family who will offer him structure, activity, and all the love he deserves. Could Teddy be the companion you’ve been waiting for? They are ready to love you; are you ready to apply?
