About Teddy

Teddy is a lovely three-year-old Chow Chow looking for his forever home. His past is quite tragic; he witnessed a horrific event that left him needing a caring environment. Teddy enjoys the company of female dogs and smaller male dogs, although he doesn't get along with male Chow Chows. It’s important to feed him separately due to some food aggression towards other dogs, but rest assured, he takes food gently from your hand. This playful boy has a knack for toys and loves to engage with his humans through playful bows. While Teddy is curious about cats and might chase if they run, he hasn’t shown any aggression toward them. He’s neutered, vaccinated, and fully house trained. Teddy is a wonderful companion who’ll be loyal and loving. If you think you can provide him the loving home he deserves, please reach out to the listed contact number. Don't miss the chance to welcome this beautiful boy into your life!
