Teddy

Teddy is what happens when a full-grown dog is 100% convinced he’s a throw pillow. At 6 years old and 60 pounds, this mixed-breed cuddle machine lives for snuggling—on the couch, on your lap, on your chest while you’re trying to read a text. His ears are docked, his soul is squishy, and yes, he responds to “Theodore” when he’s being extra. Teddy is the ultimate love bug and couch potato. He greets everyone like an old friend, settles in like he’s lived there forever, and is completely content just being near his humans. He’s got a goofy playstyle, endless affection, and absolutely zero concept of personal space—in the best way. When it comes to treats, Teddy has refined taste: Whimzees, meat samples of any variety, cheese sticks, cream cheese… you name it, he’ll happily sample it. His absolute favorite? Ice cubes, a.k.a. “water cookies.” Snack time is serious business for this ham, and he’s just waiting for a cuddle-and-dine partner to share life (and snacks) with. Teddy is friendly with other dogs in passing but truly shines as a people-dog. He’s crate trained, potty trained, walks nicely on leash (with the occasional reminder), and loves structure and routine. Yes, he’s got a little sass when he thinks he’s the boss of the room—but that’s part of his charm. This sweet boy also carries a piece of his past with him: Teddy has an old injury on his front leg. An X-ray revealed shrapnel—meaning at some point in his life, this poor guy was shot. The wound healed a little awkwardly, but it doesn’t slow him down. If anything, it makes his goofy zoomies and his love of life even more inspiring. If you’re looking for a loyal, snuggly, slightly dramatic best friend who thinks cuddles are a full-time job and snacks are a love language, Teddy is ready to clock in. Adopt Teddy — because life’s too short not to share your couch, your heart, and maybe your cheese sticks.
