About Ted

Ted is a 9-year-old Chihuahua who has been loved deeply. Following a tough transition after his human passed away, he's looking for a new home where he can feel secure again. Ted is affectionate and enjoys cuddling, showing his endearing personality through little squeaks when he wants to be lifted onto the couch. As the calmest of his trio of brothers, he tends to let others rush past for treats, hinting at his gentle nature. While Ted prefers to go outside for his business, he's also comfortable using potty pads indoors. Ideally, he'd like to be adopted with one or both of his brothers and would likely thrive in a cat-free environment. Ted gets along well with other dogs, making him a great companion for your furry friends. His adoption fee of $300 covers vaccinations, deworming, dental care, heartworm testing and prevention, and he is already neutered. Ready to meet this gentle soul? Hit apply and let’s get started.
