Teddy Chihuahua Cincinnati, OH

May I introduce myself? I’m Teddy, a nine-year-old, five-pound male chihuahua, fully vetted, vaccinated, neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date on my heartworm preventative. I’m a shy guy, so it’s hard to speak up like this, but I’m in need of a loving home and hoping you can help!

I’ve had a rough life before coming to the rescue. My owner was a backyard breeder who didn’t take good care of me or give me much social interaction. Because of that, I’m scared to meet people and hesitant to trust them. Since I’ve been a part of my foster family, I’ve started learning about love and affection, and I’m pretty interested! I’m just going to need some time to figure it all out.

I get along great with other dogs and even cats, and my beautiful long fur is the envy of all my doggy friends! I have a sweet nature too, but I need a patient, experienced chihuahua owner--one without kids--who is willing to give me time to get comfortable in my new home. A fenced yard is also important in case I get scared and try to run. I need to have my kibble moistened since I only have two teeth left. I also need help learning not to mark in the house, but I’m happy to wear a belly band to protect your home!

It’s not my fault that I wasn’t given the care I needed to be a sociable, affectionate dog, but I’m afraid I’ll never find a forever family because of it. Will you give me a chance to turn my life around? I know I’m worth it!
