Teddy's Story

Please read the bio in full for answers to common questions. If you have a question not covered here, please email info@seniordoghaven.org. If interested in adopting, please complete an adoption application at https://seniordoghaven.org/adoption-process/. Because all of our dogs live in foster homes, meet-and-greets are scheduled only after a completed application is received. Adoptions must be within a reasonable distance of Middletown, DE so our volunteers can conduct an in-person home visit.<br/><br/>Teddy is a sweet 14-year-old Miniature Poodle weighing just 11 pounds, and he is the definition of easygoing senior charm. This gentle little gentleman may be mostly blind, but he navigates the world with quiet confidence and a whole lot of heart. Teddy is fully housebroken, leash trained, crate trained, and perfectly content living the cozy couch potato lifestyle.<br/><br/>Teddy came to us from a shelter and has settled beautifully into foster life. He has chronic dry eye and will need daily eye drops for the rest of his life, and he currently takes cyclosporine. While he’s not a fan of his eye drop routine, he tolerates handling well and is otherwise a very low-maintenance companion.<br/><br/>Because of his limited vision and mobility preferences, Teddy will do best in a home with very minimal stairs. He can manage a couple going up but does not like going down and will need to be carried for stairs. The good news is he does not require a fenced yard. He happily goes outside to do his business and comes right back in.<br/><br/>Teddy is wonderful with other dogs and gets especially excited when he sees them. His little tail goes a mile a minute when friends are nearby. He is also good with kids and enjoys a calm, loving environment. Whether he is sitting quietly with his person or snoozing in his dog bed, Teddy is content simply being near his people.<br/><br/>His favorite things include naps, mealtime, and the company of other dogs. His least favorite thing is definitely eye drops, but he forgives quickly with a cozy cuddle.<br/><br/>Teddy’s ideal home is one that appreciates the gentle joy of a senior dog and can accommodate his need for minimal stairs and daily eye care. In return, he promises to be a quiet, loving companion who brings warmth and sweetness to every day.<br/><br/>If you are looking for a mellow, devoted little shadow to share your couch and your heart, Teddy may be your perfect match. 🐶💛
