Are you right for Teddy?

Teddy can live with teenagers but needs a pet free home. He is most likely house trained but we have very limited history for him so cannot guarantee it.

Is Teddy right for you?

Nine year old Teddy has the most adorable cheeky face which has won him an army of fans at the centre. He's a playful boy who is very friendly with people and will happily greet anybody if he thinks he's going to get a fuss out of it. Teddy likes to relax in his bed and watches the world go by from his kennel, waiting for squirrels to shout at! We have very little about Teddy's past but we know he has lived somewhere with a lot of dogs, and he is very reactive towards others when he sees them. His handlers have been working on distracting him when he's out on his walks, and getting him to focus on them instead, and Teddy is doing very well. He is going to be have to be walked muzzled until he has come further in his training, and his adopters must be wiling to keep up the same training. Full support will be available from our training team, who will draw up a workable training plan for Teddy and his new family to give him the best start in his new life.
