Teddy

Description

Teddy is proof that big personalities can come in very small packages! This charming Chihuahua is always happy to see his people and approaches life with a cheerful, go-with-the-flow attitude. Whether he’s playing with toys, soaking up attention, tagging along on car rides, or accompanying you to a brewery patio, Teddy is simply happy to be part of the adventure. Teddy loves to play, run around, and explore, but with his short little legs, he doesn’t need long walks to be content. In fact, one of his favorite ways to travel is riding in his special shoulder bag, where he can take in the sights while staying close to his favorite humans. He is leash trained and does well on walks when wearing his preferred harness. Teddy also does well in the car and enjoys joining his family on outings. He is affectionate, playful, goofy, and loves being a lap dog when the day is done. Teddy prefers dogs closer to his own size and would be perfectly happy as an only dog. He does not require a canine companion as long as his people are home often and can give him the love and attention he craves. Teddy is not crate trained and can be vocal when confined. He tends to bark, takes time to settle, and may have accidents in a crate. Because of this, he would do best with a family that is home frequently and can accommodate his preference for being close to his people. If you’re looking for a fun-loving little sidekick who will happily accompany you wherever life takes you, Teddy may be the perfect match! Please note that some of our dogs are obtained from shelters, surrendered to our care, or released from breeders. Each animal's bio is based on our experience of the animal within our care, an educated guess based on physical characteristics, temperament and information shared. Each dog receives basic grooming when coming into rescue, but for some dogs they have not received grooming attention until recently and grooming may be required shortly after adoption. This will be at the adopter’s expense, so we encourage you to research the breed and be prepared for grooming expenses. Underdog cannot guarantee hypoallergenic or non-shedding qualities of any dogs in our rescue. Some of the animals come from situations where they are lacking experience in a home and confidence in humans. In turn, they require another companion dog and/or a fenced in yard in their forever home in order for them to feel safe. If you are interested in a particular dog whose bio states those needs and do not currently have them, please understand that your home might not be the right fit. Please use the filter on our Adoptable Dogs page to find the perfect match for your home.   ***Be sure to check your spam/junk folder as sometimes our emails end up there***
