The guy who loves attention and wants to know what everyone is doing. The guy who would much rather be riding in the car with you than sitting home wondering where you went.<br/>Basically...<br/>Teddy is looking for a person with a passenger seat.<br/><br/>He would do best in a calmer home with someone who understands that trust is built over time. He doesn't need a circus. He doesn't need a dozen people coming through the door every day.<br/>He needs his person.<br/>Someone patient.<br/>Someone kind.<br/>Someone who will let him settle in, learn the routine and discover that he's finally landed somewhere safe.<br/>Once that happens, I have a feeling Teddy is going to be one of those dogs who wants to be involved in everything.<br/><br/>Laundry?<br/>Teddy's available.<br/>Netflix?<br/>Teddy's watching.<br/>Going for a ride?<br/>He's already in the car.<br/>Another dog wants to play?<br/>Excellent.<br/><br/>Teddy is now 10 months old, small-to-medium sized, healthy, neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccinations, kennel trained and knows his commands.<br/>And he's ready.<br/>Not for just any home.<br/>For his home.<br/>The one where he gets to stop starting over.<br/>The one where he gets to finally exhale.<br/>The one where he can be goofy, loving, playful Teddy for the rest of his life.<br/><br/> Teddy has been waiting long enough. Let's get this boy home.
