Teddy Terrier Mix Gulfport, MS

You know that friend/family member of yours that makes their presence well known at all the parties, gatherings, or family get togethers? That's Teddy. Teddy is always the life of the party and ready for a good time. He has made so many friends here at the shelter- dogs and people alike- yet he still lingers here in the shelter waiting to be adopted for over 5 months! One by one, each of Teddy's friends have been, "chosen," by their forever families, and Teddy has had to say goodbye.

Teddy had the opportunity to go on a, "sleepover" with some of our friends with PetSmart Charities, and they said, "Teddy is such a lover who meets no stranger-- dog or person! He whimpers a little when you are out of sight, but I bet settles down quickly if alone so he may be an okay apartment match. He rides well in the car if tethered--otherwise he wants to be in your lap. He'd probably be a great match for a home with a dog savvy cat because he really looks to us for all of his direction, so he could easily learn to be gentle with a cat--or even a small child. At the same time, I think he would love rough and tumble play with dogs his size too. All around a very happy, friendly, easy going guy! He had no accidents in the hotel but also wasn't given any real freedom so I would not go as far to say housetrained. BUT, he did always potty as soon as he made it to the grass!"

Each person that walks past his kennel is met with a jump at the gate and a loud bark, as if to say, "LOOK AT ME! I'M HERE, AND I CAN LOVE YOU,TOO!" He's longing for the day that he can walk the beach where he was initially found by animal control- but this time with a best friend by his side.
