Teddy Bear Built for Snuggles

There's 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 out this big world. Whatever it is, this little guy has a way of making everyone who meets him want to scoop him up, cover him in kisses, and protect him forever. Teddy has a 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 are busy showing off their bigger personalities, Teddy is quietly stealing hearts just by being himself. There's a peacefulness 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 weighs around 10 lbs. We believe he may be a German Shepherd/Great Pyrenees mix, but as with any rescue, breed is a guess. He is currently thriving in a foster home, where he's beginning to explore the world through play, naps, mealtime routines, and gentle socialization. His life is wonderfully simple: chase a toy, wrestle with siblings, eat, nap, and repeat. Teddy is exactly what his name suggests: gentle, sweet, affectionate, and an easy little guy to love. He enjoys playing with toys and joining in on puppy fun, but his naturally calmer personality is already shining through. He's the puppy that reminds you to slow down, scoop him up, and enjoy the special moments of puppyhood. As the smallest of the litter, Teddy is loved by everyone, and his innocent face and gentle personality make it nearly impossible to resist giving him a cuddle. If quiet snuggles are just as important to you as playtime, Teddy will fit into your heart easily. Raising a puppy is a rewarding adventure, and watching Teddy discover new things and grow into the dog he's meant to be will be a daily joy for his future family.
