Teddy

Meet Teddy — the happiest little “Tigger” you’ll ever meet<br/><br/>Male | ~1 years old | 45lbs | Carolina Dog | Saved from Moreno Valley (A544635)<br/><br/>Teddy may have come from one of the toughest shelters in California, but you’d never know it from the joy he carries now. This boy is pure sunshine with a wiggle. His foster lovingly describes him as a “little Tigger,” bouncing around everywhere he goes. He doesn’t run — he hops, he boings, and he brings laughter into every room.<br/><br/>Personality - Teddy is a fun, affectionate, and enthusiastic young dog who is soaking in his second chance. He has a naturally upbeat spirit and loves engaging with people. Whether he’s bouncing around the yard or settling in for attention, he radiates gratitude and excitement for life.<br/><br/>Training and Behavior - Teddy is very treat-motivated and eager to learn. In fact, he has already learned that sitting earns him snacks — so much so that he will sit constantly just in case a treat appears. His food motivation makes him an excellent candidate for continued training and structure.<br/><br/>He’s energetic and playful but also attentive and responsive. A little routine and positive reinforcement will help him thrive even more.<br/><br/>Ideal Home - Teddy would be a wonderful fit for an active adopter or family who appreciates a dog with personality and bounce. A yard to play in or regular outings would help channel his energy in a healthy way.<br/><br/>He would do well with:<br/><br/>Someone who enjoys a playful, high-spirited dog<br/><br/>A home that appreciates training and structure<br/><br/>A family excited about a young, eager-to-learn companion<br/><br/>Why Teddy is Special<br/><br/>Teddy survived months in a high-stress environment and somehow emerged joyful, affectionate, and full of life. His resilience is remarkable. His spirit is contagious. And anyone who adopts him will gain a companion who makes ordinary days feel brighter and funnier.<br/><br/><br/>Currently being fostered in Riverside.<br/>Apply at: homeboundhounds.org
