Teddy is a large, male adult dog who has been house and crate trained. He is unaltered but is looking for an adopter who will help him with grooming and care. Living in Rustburg, VA, Teddy adores children and is eager to find a loving home.

About Teddy: At shelter

Teddy is ready to find a new home! He previously lived with a family that had three small children, and they mentioned that he absolutely loved being around them. Teddy is house trained and crate trained, making him a great companion for any household. He has recently been a bit grumpy, possibly due to chronic ear infections that his previous family couldn't manage. We plan to get him evaluated by a vet this week to address his discomfort. Teddy does have a food guarding tendency with other dogs, though he is fine with humans near his meals. As he adjusts to shelter life, we're excited to see his personality shine through as we help him find a loving, understanding home. Regular grooming and care will be important for him as well. Make Teddy's transition to a happy life your new mission!
