We Do What Is In The Best Interest Of The Dog.
Teddy is a gorgeous, energetic, 35 pound, 2-year-old Poodle with a playful spirit and an enormous capacity for affection. He loves his toys, enjoys a good game of fetch, and is up for snuggle time 24/7. If you're looking for a devoted cuddle buddy who will happily soak up all the love you have to give, Teddy might be your guy!
Teddy can be anxious when meeting new people and other dogs, so he needs a patient adopter who understands that trust takes time. He can be especially hesitant around men and will need thoughtful, unhurried introductions rather than quick meet-and-greets. When feeling uncertain, he may occasionally growl to communicate his discomfort, so it's important to respect his boundaries and allow him to settle in at his own pace.
Teddy needs continued leash training. His anxiety and strong prey drive can make walks challenging, as he reacts to environmental stimuli such as birds, blowing leaves, and wind. A patient, committed adopter who is willing to work consistently on leash manners and confidence-building will be essential to his success.
The wonderful news? Teddy has a very sweet, gentle side with the people he knows and trusts. He has been gentle and playful with his foster family's 8-year-old child and has been sweet with the entire family. Once you're in Teddy's circle of trust, you'll discover what a fun, affectionate, and loving companion he can be.
Teddy would do best in a home without other pets, where he can be the center of attention. We envision him thriving in a home with the time and desire to help him build confidence, continue his training, and enjoy all the companionship and cuddles he has to offer.
Teddy may need a little extra understanding as he adjusts to his new life, but for the right person, he has so much love to give. Could you be the one to help this handsome boy feel safe, confident, and truly at home?
Teddy's adoption fee is $850 which includes his already completed neuter surgery, up to date shots and a microchip.
