About Teddy

Teddy is a delightful 6-month-old male mixed-breed dog, likely a Terrier and Shepherd blend, weighing around 20 lbs as of now. He’s neutered and his curiosity shines through his sweet personality. While he’s unsure about new environments, Teddy shows potential to grow into a confident companion with the right patience and training. In his foster home, he enjoys exploring, though he often retreats in shyness. He’s particularly fond of picking up sticks and leaves on his walks. Teddy has learned some basic commands like “sit” and is motivated by treats, making him an eager learner. While he thrives on affection—always close to his human—he takes time to warm up to strangers. This boy requires a calm environment, especially as he adjusts to city life, where loud noises can startle him. Teddy is house trained and is in the process of mastering leash manners. He gets along well with both dogs and cats but may need additional socialization due to his timid nature. Adopters should be experienced with dogs as he needs structured daily exercise and mental challenges. The ideal home would be an adult-only space or one with children aged 8 and up who can be gentle with him. Teddy is looking for someone ready to commit time and love to help him blossom.
