Ted's Story

Name: Ted<br/>Breed: Toy Australian Shepherd<br/>Sex: Neutered Male<br/>Age: 1 year 6 months<br/>Weight: 21 lbs<br/><br/>Needs Experienced Adopter<br/><br/>We are seeking a foster-to-adopt home for Ted, someone experienced with dogs who have fear-based reactivity and willing to continue working on his behavior with patience, structure, and training support through PawsCo.<br/><br/>Good with dogs? Ted may do best as an only dog, as he can be protective of his food and may feel overwhelmed sharing space.<br/><br/>Good with cats? No.<br/><br/>Good with kids? No.<br/><br/>Energy Level: Medium. Ted loves to romp around, explore the backyard, and play with toys. Once his play needs are met, he settles nicely and enjoys relaxing.<br/><br/>Behavioral Needs:<br/>Ted spent most of his early life outdoors and is still learning how to be a comfortable indoor companion. He’s working on feeling safe, managing his stranger danger, and sharing resources. Because he struggles with being left alone, he will need a home where someone is home often or works from home. Ted is significantly undersocialized and requires very slow, structured introductions to new people and experiences. Continued professional training will be important for his success.<br/><br/>About Ted:<br/>Ted is a silly little rascal with a big heart who thrives on fun, exploration, and connection. He’s looking for a patient, committed adopter who can help grow his confidence through gentle guidance, consistent training, and thoughtful socialization. Ted is easily frightened by loud noises, barking dogs, and unfamiliar people, but with love and support, he can learn that the world is safe. Despite his rocky start, he is ready to blossom and share his playful, curious, sweet puppy personality with the right person.<br/><br/>Please learn more about the adoption process and fill out an application at www.pawsco.org/adopt/adoption-process. You can also contact my friends at PawsCo at adopt@pawscoadoptions.org if you have questions. I look forward to meeting you!
