 *Teddy is an option for Foster-to-Adopt!
 
Teddy Bear is a 1-2 year old Papillon x Corgi mix who is as soft and cuddly as can be! TB was rescued from the shelter after his former home no longer wanted him past the puppy stages. This poor boy was very shut down when we saved him but we promised that his future would be amazing. Teddy Bear weighs 20 pounds and every ounce is full of cuteness and charm. He is absolutely adorable and he makes heads turn when he walks into the room. 
 
Teddy Bear is a quiet and loving boy who is looking for a home ready to help him bloom! When he arrived at our rescue, he was very shy and skittish, not really sure what the world around him had to offer. After a few days of watching the resident family dogs, he started to come out of his shell and enjoy all the treats and snuggles we have to shower him with. However, interested homes should be ready to wait him out rather than force him to engage right away. You will need to go at his pace to see the amazing boy we know he is. Teddy would benefit from a home where his chosen human is almost always home as he has some (understandable) separation anxiety due to his past before rescue. We will be looking for a home who understands shy dogs and can demonstrate their readiness for Teddy Bear. 
Teddy Bear has started playing with toys and loves squeaking his plushies. He would love a home where he can have all the toys and beds he desires! He is on the lower end of the energy scale, but we think he would be up for adventures once he feels more confident on a leash, though as of now he prefers the backyard. He is so soft and fluffy, it’s hard to resist running your hands through his pillowy fur. If you want kisses at the same time, he can even make that happen! 
Teddy Bear starts his morning at 6:30 AM and checks out the house as his foster mom starts her day. He has breakfast at 8 AM and then goes out for some sun and potty time. During the day, TB’s ideal spot is under the desk as his foster mom works. He also loves to hang out with the resident dogs. He’s been getting his wrestling on as he gains his confidence. TB took a few days to figure out snuggling but now he jumps on the couch for cuddles without hesitation. After some TV time, Teddy Bear goes out for one last potty trip and sniff around the yard. He goes to his crate for the night at 10 PM and snoozes the night away. 
Teddy adores his canine foster siblings and has gained a lot of confidence following them around. He loves dogs of all sizes and has even begun initiating play. Teddy needs support as he learns how to walk on a leash and gain his confidence, but we know the end results will be so gratifying. This loving boy can’t wait for you to take him off the shelf and bring him home! 
 
Teddy is house-trained in his foster home and crate trained. He is let out every four hours for a potty break in the yard and sleeps through the night without issue. 
Teddy is only an option for those who have owned a dog before. We are seeking an experienced home ready to work with Teddy Bear. Adults only for Mr. Teddy.
