Teddy is a sweet chap who originally came to us from a breeder. He was adopted for a few months, but sadly the resident dog struggled to accept him, and Teddy became very bonded to the male adopter, which led to him feeling anxious when separated. He has now been returned to us and is currently in foster, where he’s settling back in beautifully.

Teddy is a gentle, affectionate little lad who gets on well with all the other dogs in foster, but he especially enjoys the company of female dogs. He’s lively, playful, and loves to run, zoomies in the garden are his absolute favourite! Because of this, a secure, good-sized garden is essential for him. He’s also brilliant both on and off the lead and enjoys his walks very much.

He tends to form a close bond with one person, often the man of the house, and can become unsettled when that person is out of sight. However, with consistent boundaries and gentle reassurance, Teddy is improving and learning to manage this. He’s clean in the home, eats well, sleeps upstairs with his foster family, and is very well-behaved at the groomers.

Teddy would love a calm, adult-only home (or one with older, dog-savvy teenagers) where someone is around most of the time. He will need at least one friendly, similar-sized female dog in the home to help him feel confident and provide companionship. He cannot live with cats.

Although he may be a little wary of strangers at first, he now settles more quickly and is learning to accept a fuss once he feels safe. He is a clever, sensitive boy who has come a long way already and is ready to find his forever family. Teddy’s new home must be experienced with the needs of ex-breeding dogs and willing to offer him time, patience, and plenty of love.

Teddy has had four teeth removed and a history of ear infections, which his adopters will need to monitor, as these will not be covered by insurance. He is being treated for a ear infection at the moment. He also has a Grade 3 heart murmur, which doesn't require any medication at the moment but will need to be monitored by his adopter and their vet.

Teddy is an absolute treasure, bright, loyal, and full of fun. He’s now ready for his next chapter, and we know the perfect home is out there waiting for him.
