There is just something about Teddy Bear. Maybe it's because he's the tiniest of his litter, or perhaps it's his sweet little face and those innocent puppy eyes that make you feel like he's still trying to figure this big world out. Whatever it is, this little guy has a way of making everyone who meets him immediately want to scoop him up, cover him in kisses, and protect him forever. Teddy has the kind of gentle soul that's impossible not to fall in love with. He's sweet, calm, affectionate, and perfectly content soaking up cuddles before happily wandering off to play with a toy. While his siblings might be busy showing off their bigger personalities, Teddy quietly steals hearts just by being himself. There's something so peaceful about him; he's the puppy you find yourself checking on just because he's so darn precious.
Teddy is approximately 2 months old and currently weighs around 10 lbs. We believe he may be a German Shepherd/Great Pyrenees mix, but with rescue, it's always a mystery and we can never guarantee breed. He is currently thriving in a foster home where he's beginning to explore the world through play, naps, mealtime routines, and gentle socialization. Right now, life is wonderfully simple for Teddy: chase a toy, wrestle with his siblings, eat, nap, and wake up to do it all again. He enjoys playing with toys and joining in on puppy fun with his siblings, but he has a naturally calmer personality that's already beginning to shine through. He's the puppy that reminds you to slow down for a minute, scoop him up, and enjoy all the little moments that make puppyhood so special.
Ideal Home
Teddy is looking for a family that understands the importance of a calm and gentle upbringing. If you're the type of person whose favorite part of having a puppy is the quiet snuggles as much as the playtime, Teddy is going to fit into your heart so easily.
Ongoing Health
Teddy has received age-appropriate vetting, including DAPP vaccinations with boosters, Bordetella, rabies vaccine, multiple broad-spectrum deworming treatments, and flea and heartworm prevention. He will be spayed/neutered before adoption.
Training & Support
Like every puppy, Teddy will need a family that's ready to guide him through all the important parts of growing up. Continued socialization, training, routine, structure, and plenty of positive experiences will help him develop into a confident, well-rounded adult dog. We also require adopters to begin crate training right away, as it helps with potty training, learning healthy routines, building confidence, and creating a safe space that's all his own.
Application Details:
- Applications start by contacting us through Wags.
- The adoption fee is $1200.
- Before adoption is finalized, you will meet your pet through a video call.
Transporation
We facilitate adoptions nationwide using our rescue-run USDA-certified transport system. Transport includes drop-off locations in WA, UT, OR, ID, VA, PA, OH, NY, CT, VT, TN, KY, WI, MN, IL, WI, and Canada (pick-up in Bellingham, WA, Buffalo, NY, or Brattleboro, VT for Canadian adopters). A $87 surcharge applies due to rising transportation costs. Texas adopters must pick up from the Houston area.
