Teddy

Teddy is approximately 3.5 years old and weighs 10 pounds. His DNA shows he's a mix of Chihuahua, Yorkie, Bichon, and three other breeds. When he was rescued, he was a matted mess and had to be shaved down. His coat has now grown back, and he's a handsome boy who will need regular grooming. Teddy also had mature cataracts in both eyes, but after surgery and a few months of eye medication, he now has excellent eyesight!

He loves to be a lap dog and is always eager to snuggle on his foster's lap. Teddy gets along with most dogs, but he prefers calmer companions and can become unhappy with overly active dogs who get in his face. He can be a bit possessive of his food and doesn't like to share, so we believe he would do best as an only dog or with an older, quieter canine friend. He is mostly house-trained, walks well on a leash, and enjoys car rides. Teddy is sure to be a wonderful companion!

Ideal Home

Teddy would thrive in a home without children under 8 years old and with experienced dog owners. He would also do best as an only dog or with an older, quieter companion.

Ongoing Health

Teddy underwent successful cataract surgery on both eyes and is now fully healed. He is up-to-date on all vaccinations, microchipped, and on monthly preventatives for heartworms, fleas/ticks, and parasites.

Training & Support

Teddy is mostly house-trained and walks well on a leash. He can be snippy with his food and does not like to share, so ongoing positive reinforcement for his resource guarding will be beneficial.
