Are you the one I have been waiting for? Do you have a fur sister I could play with?
My name is Teddy (Ted or TedTed)! I can be a bit shy at first but when I get to know you, I am the most loyal, sweet loving boy. I like to be involved in anything and everything my foster fur sister is doing. I do like to keep a check on what my foster mum is doing during the day too. My current foster family consists of well, me of course, a mum, a dad, a 9yrold, 5 chickens and a female border collie. I love being included in everything my foster humans do, but I’m also happy to chill out, snooze, ready for the next play or adventure. It might take me a little while to feel comfortable but when that happens, I will be extremely happy to have found my forever place in this big wide world. It’s been so lovely staying at my foster family’s place, but all I really, really want, is a place that is my own!
I am good with other dogs although I do prefer female dogs of all sizes. I run and play with my fur sister and absolutely love to play chasey with her. Sometimes we do play rough and when my fur sister has had enough, she tells me that it’s time to stop. I am a fast learner, my foster mum is always telling me I am an intelligent boy – whatever that means, I think it means the same as smart, doesn’t it?!
I have been caught sneaking into the chook house, I don’t hurt the chickens, I am more interested in the grain feed than them….
I know how to “sit” and “wait” for my food, and only when I hear “eat” is when I know I’m allowed to chow down. I’m not fussed with this crate training stuff; I much prefer being outside in a kennel rather than in the crate. I know “go to bed” or “bed time”, “shake”, “drop” and “roll over”. Did I mention, I love food rewards. I also know “up” and my foster family use this command when we go in the car or I need to go in to my raised kennel if I need to be kept safe and secured away for whatever reason. I also know “down” or sometimes the humans say “off” or “okay” - I am learning so much. My recall is good, I come back when I hear my humans whistle or call “come”, “here” or “come here”. My humans say “good boy” too, so I think I’m going ok with all my learning.
I am an active doggy and would love another active female doggy friend at home with me. I must say I do love having my foster mum at home all the time too, it makes me feel safe. I’m a bit embarrassed to say but when I first arrived here, I would have a little sook and cry when I couldn’t find my foster mum, but now when she has to go out, I’m just fine as I know she’s coming back - which makes me really happy. It did take me a little while to figure out how things worked around here because I was always on edge and a little bit scared. I have never tried to escape this place and that’s because I have pretty good company.
I’m really looking forward to meeting you very soon, love and paws Teddy XX
I am 2 years old.
