Ted's Story

*Ted is temporarily living in a foster home until they find their family. If you would like to meet Ted, we recommend scheduling an appointment with one of our Adoptions Specialists, so we can ensure they are here to meet you when you arrive. Please click "Adopt Ted" to complete an interest survey and one of our Adoptions Specialists will connect with you to set up an appointment!*<br/><br/>Ted is a sweet and goofy boy who has quickly stolen our hearts both at the shelter and in foster care. He spends his evenings in a staff member's home, where he's proven himself to be the perfect house guest.<br/><br/>Ted was introduced slowly and gently to his foster's two dogs (a 45-pound dog and a tiny 4-pounder) and handled it beautifully with positive encouragement and given his own space when needed. While he tries to play bow and invite them to run around, he's wonderfully respectful when they decline, happily entertaining himself instead. He especially loves his chew toys - they're his version of self-care and relaxation time. Best of all, he doesn't chew on human belongings, only his own toys.<br/><br/>At bedtime, Ted will simply curl up on the couch or snooze by the bed, quiet and content. He's housetrained, doesn't bark in the home, knows basic commands, and loves being close to his humans - whether that means following you around the yard or snuggling by your side on the couch.<br/><br/>Ted is gentle, loyal, and endlessly lovable. He may protect his chew toys from other dogs, but with people, he is nothing but affectionate and sweet. To us, Ted is truly an angel - a goofy, loving boy who's just waiting for a family to see how wonderful he really is.<br/><br/>If you would like more information, please email utahadoptions@bestfriends.org or visit our Lifesaving center today!
