Teddy's Story

Meet Teddy, a sweet, gentle soul who has been through a lot and still greets the world with soft eyes and a wagging tail.<br/><br/>Teddy is 7 years old. He has a neurological autoimmune disorder. We don’t fully understand it yet, and we can’t predict how it will affect him long-term. He could live a full, happy life... or he may face challenges related to the condition as time goes on. This disorder causes small episodes where he shakes for a few minutes and may become wobbly or his legs may stiffen. The neurologist says the disorder is linked to the part of the brain that controls balance. He is on medication and will need to stay on it for life. Other than these occasional episodes, he is a happy, heathy boy. <br/><br/>Teddy is a loving, affectionate boy who lights up for attention, enjoys quiet moments, and just wants to be someone’s dog. He deserves a family who can love him for exactly who he is—one day at a time. Someone patient, prepared for possible medical needs, and ready to give him the secure, gentle home he’s waiting for. <br/><br/>He does well with other dogs. Don’t know how he would be with cats since he isn’t currently around them but he is pretty laid back so he would probably do ok.<br/><br/>Teddy likes to be close all the time. He will follow you around like a shadow.<br/><br/>He sleeps well in a crate at night, without a peep. If his foster mom goes out during the day, she leaves him loose and he does great as long as there is no food he can get into. He pretty much just sleeps on the couch waiting for her to come home. She has crated him when going out and he generally just makes a few squeaks and calms down. <br/><br/>Teddy LOVES to eat. He is very food motivated. He will let you know when it time to eat long before it is by sitting and staring at you. It’s pretty funny, if you go to pet him he will back up as to tell you, it isn’t time for lovin', it’s time for eat'n.<br/><br/>Teddy walks well on a leash and loves car rides. <br/><br/>If your heart is open to a special boy who will give you every bit of love he has, please fill out an application at www.homesfurhounds.org

Homes Fur Hounds, Inc.'s Adoption Policy
1. Once you have identified the dog(s) you are interested in meeting, you must submit an Adoption Application. You can find the application at https://www.homesfurhounds.org 2. Be patient. We occasionally have a high volume of applications, especially on puppies. 3. If your application is approved you will be contacted to arrange a meet and greet with the dog(s) you are interested in meeting. Whenever we have more than one applicant who is approved, we set up the meet and greet in the order in which the applications were received. 4. We are a small rescue group and do require home checks. Therefore, we only adopt to VA, NC and MD. Exceptions are made for medically needy or seniors if no qualified applicant is located in our adoption area. 5. We do keep applications on file for 6 months, so even if you aren’t selected for a particular dog, if you see another dog of interest, let us know and we will consider your application at that time. 6. Please don’t be offended if you are not selected to adopt. We try to match the dog with the BEST home for them. Just because you weren’t selected for a specific dog does not mean you can’t apply for another one. 7. Our adoption fee is $300.00.
