Teddy Bear(Foster care) Pomeranian Mix Newport, NC

Teddy Bear looks like a stuffed toy because he is so pretty and petite. He is a sweet guy who is currently being treated by a veterinarian for a problem with his knee.  He bears some weight on it and the vet feels that his knee pain went untreated for a long time prior to him coming to the shelter.  Teddy Bear had his affected leg amputated mid July.  He is recovering well.  His foster mom says that he appears to feel much better than he did before the surgery.  He is able to get around on his own but has not mastered using the steps just yet.   He is a quiet guy who LOVES lying in somebody's lap.


Currently in a loving foster home with three other small dogs  and a cat and has stolen the hearts of his foster parents.  Please contact the shelter for more information about him and to arrange to meet him.


 


 If you have another dog and are interested in meeting another potential new furry member please bring him or her to the shelter and meet on neutral ground before adopting. No need to shuffle the animals around any more than necessary. Please know that 1 mosquito bite can create heart worms and they can be fatal if not treated. It is VERY important to keep your pets healthy and protected by keeping them on a once a  month heart worm and flea/tick prevention.  These animals are counting on you as their owner to provide them with lots a love and the proper health care so PLEASE make sure you are aware and prepared before adopting. Owning a pet is an extra expense and responsibility but is so worth every minute and penny you invest in them.  They will add lots of joy and unconditional love if given a fair chance.


The shelter is open Mon.-Fri. 10-1, 2-5, Sat. 10-2, and on Sunday during the spring and summer from 11-3.  Adopt a homeless pet and save a life.  If you can not adopt right now come out and volunteer and make a difference in the lives of these animals while they await their FOREVER home.
