About Teddy

Teddy is an affectionate and snuggly boy who loves to please. He’s already showing great progress with crate-training in his foster home, though he’ll need continued patience as he grows. This smart guy is also picking up the basics of potty training. He enjoys wrestling with his dog sibling, but he can get a bit too rough and needs breaks now and then. Teddy would likely thrive with a dog friend in his new home to play with and help him learn proper manners. He has shown some curiosity about the cats in the house, so slow introductions would be best if he joins a home with feline companions. Teddy is neutered and ready for a forever home, just waiting for you to take that next step!
