Are you right for Teddy?
Teddy is a lovely 2-year-old Dachshund cross Jack Russell looking for a family to call his own. He could live with another calm, small-sized dog and would be happy sharing his home with secondary school-aged children. Teddy is a friendly boy who enjoys meeting people and is welcoming with visitors, making him a great addition to a reasonably busy household.
Teddy is house-trained and can be left for up to four hours once settled into his new home. He walks nicely on lead, although he can pull a little when he gets excited, and he would benefit from having social doggy friends to enjoy walks with. His recall is very good, and while he can be a little unsettled when travelling in the car, he is continuing to improve. We have no history of Teddy living with cats or small furries. He has seen cows and ignored them, but he has not been assessed around other livestock.
Is Teddy right for you?
Teddy is a wonderfully gentle and affectionate little dog who absolutely adores being around people. He loves nothing more than a fuss, plenty of cuddles and showering his favourite humans with kisses. After a nice walk, you'll often find him happily snuggled under a cosy blanket, enjoying a well-earned snooze. He's a very loving companion who thrives on human company and will make a fantastic best friend.
When it comes to fun, Teddy is a big fan of toys, although he does have a habit of enthusiastically pulling them apart, so tough, durable toys are a must! He also loves tasty treats, which makes continuing his training enjoyable, especially as he already knows "sit" and "stay". With his gentle nature, love of adventure and affectionate personality, Teddy is sure to bring lots of happiness to his new family.

We’ll review your application against the dogs in our care at your chosen centre. If we think we have the right dog for you, we’ll be in touch as soon as possible. If we don’t hear back from you, we will close your application for now, and you can reapply when you’re ready.

Show detailsIf we’ve found a dog who seems right for you, we’ll invite you to come and meet them at the rehoming centre.
Some of the dogs in our care will need to meet potential owners several times to get to know one another. This lets us see you’re compatible and gives you the chance to build a bond before making a commitment to give them a new home. By taking some time at the beginning to make sure everyone’s comfortable, an adoption is more likely to be successful.
We may also arrange a home visit with you, to see how your house will be set up and check that the garden (if you have one) is secure. This may not be necessary, though, especially if you’ve adopted from us before. Where you already have dogs, we may accept a reference from your vet as an alternative.

If we haven’t found the right match, we’ll continue the search together
If we haven’t found the right dog for you within three months, we’ll let you know your application is closed. We’ll invite you to apply again so we have up-to-date information about you, and we’ll keep looking.
