Teddy's Story
TEDDY <br/><br/>"Same Teddy. One more chapter. Still looking for his people."<br/><br/>Meet Teddy.<br/>At 10 months old, Teddy is a Dachshund mix with a big personality, a big heart, and absolutely no shortage of opinions about where he would like to be: with his people.<br/><br/>This little guy has had a couple of false starts in life, but here's what we know for sure:<br/>Teddy is a really, really good dog.<br/>He loves people.<br/>He loves other dogs.<br/>He loves car rides.<br/>He knows his commands.<br/>He's kennel trained.<br/><br/>And he genuinely enjoys being part of a family.<br/>Teddy originally came to us as a puppy and was adopted into a home. Unfortunately, the household environment became stressful for him and he developed a significant fear of one family member. His family worked to help him, but ultimately the situation wasn't the right fit for Teddy, and he's now back with us.<br/>And that's okay.<br/>Because Teddy isn't broken.<br/>He's not a bad dog.<br/>He's not a difficult dog.<br/>He's a young dog who needs the right environment to feel safe and confident.<br/>When Teddy feels comfortable, you see the real guy.<br/>The happy guy.<br/>The playful guy.<br/>The guy who heads off to doggie daycare and happily hangs out with his canine friends. 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.
