About Teddy Graham

Meet Teddy Graham (69 lbs)! This handsome guy came to us without a lot of history, so we're taking our time getting to know him, and helping him to get settled in with lots of fetch in the play yard, and scrumptious treats. He appreciates slower paced introductions when it comes to getting to know new friends, and he may need a little extra time to feel comfortable. But once that's out of the way, he's ready to jump around and show you his extra favorite purple rolly-ball. Since we don't know a lot about his history, we're unsure how he'll do in a home with cats or kids. If you already have a dog, our adoptions team can set up a meet-and-greet to see how they get along! We'll be updating Teddy's profile as we learn more about him. Would you like to get to know Teddy Graham? Stop by our adoption center Wednesday-Sunday: 12:00-4:30 PM (Thursday: 12:00-6:30 PM) You can also reach our adoptions team: by email: adoptions@spcaonline.com by phone (during open hours): 607-257-1822 x221

Ithaca's dramatic gorges, waterfalls, and Finger Lakes setting create a stunning backdrop for pet adoption. This college town in central New York has passionate animal welfare organizations and a community deeply committed to rescue and adoption.

With over 150 waterfalls within 10 miles of downtown, gorge trails at Buttermilk Falls and Robert H. Treman State Parks, and the scenic Cayuga Lake waterfront, adopted pets in Ithaca enjoy some of the most spectacular natural scenery in the Northeast.
