Teddy Bear

My story

Teddy Bear, an adorable 10-year-old, 12 lb male rescue dog who is now ready for his forever home. Teddy Bear's journey has been one of resilience, courage, and growth, and he is eagerly awaiting the opportunity to bring his unique brand of love and companionship into the lives of a new family. Teddy bear previously lived in a home with one elderly woman. He did not get picked up very often and he did not get much attention. When he first came to the rescue, we were unable to easily catch him much less pet him. He has come so far and he now tolerate being picked up and enjoys being petted. He is not a cuddly dog, however. He probably will never get over his past completely. He has gained an incredible amount of trust while being here and definitely has room for further growth. Being handled a lot is just not something in his comfort zone. He is independent but will still adore you and love you. He gets happy when we get up in the morning and he’s especially gregarious at feeding time! Teddy is a coated dog (hair grows continuously) and will need professional grooming every 6-8 weeks. Teddy Bear's adoption fee is $275 This fee includes at least one health exam at our veterinarian while in our care, altering, all vaccinations including rabies (as permitted by age), a pre-adoption professional grooming and a microchip with lifetime membership that never will cost you a fee. All dogs also leave with a new collar and or harness and leash as well as a gift bag which includes among other things, a starter bag of the quality kibble that is being fed at the rescue. Adoption fees also allow us the ability to put funds towards the next homeless or unwanted dog in need of rescue!
