• “Teddy is the sweetest baby, but loves his space. He is extremely timid and self-sufficient. He’s funny, gentle, protective, lazy, and loving.“

  — Catt T.

• “I’m a curious beagle that loves to sniff around and meet new friends. I’m pretty old so I don’t run as much as I used to but will still play around a bit!“

  — Carolyne C.

• “I was visiting family in Texas. We went for a drive way out in the boonies - stopped to take a couple of photos and Teddy hopped into the car like he owned it. No microchip, so he came back to Vancouver WA with us. He’s the most wonderful dog we’ve ever had. People say we rescued him, but really, he rescued us.“

  — David R.

• “I’m Teddy Bear, 10 years old - my mama rescued me when I was 3 - I’m a retired service dog and now the leader of my very own pack - I’m known as the gentle giant and my mom and grandma never stop doting over me - I’m a mamas boy and I love taking care of my pack and my family.“

  — Sesarena C.

• “Hi, I'm Teddy and I love my parents so much I must be touching them at all times. Sometimes they let my (cough, their) friends come over just to play with me! Our favorite family activity is snuggling on the couch or in bed but sometimes I want to be outside. When we are outside I must defend as far as the eye can see from any dogs that think they can walk by my house. Not on my watch!“

  — Sherry L.

• “I love my toys, and i love being chased! Im a bit shy so i dont like when people try to invade my space before i get to know them, but i will still play with you if you'll play with me! Thats how i lower my guard. I am learning to communicate through buttons! I have beeb practicing communicating when I'd like to train, eat, need a drink, want to go shopping or see my grandma! Im very hyper but have a heart of gold. Im still a puppy, so sounds and movements can excite me and make me chase sometimes! Watch out for pants or socks, those are my favorite to play with!“

  — Lindsey R.

• “Teddy is a small poodle mix about 3 to 5 years old. I adopted him March 2022. We do not know his background, as we found him at a park and had no claims from anyone. He’s very hand-shy, and he’s very scared of men, but if you give him treats, he will warm up to you and he will learn to like you. Teddy seems to lick and bite at his fur a lot of the time. I usually check these areas as he has developed hotspots in the past from excessively biting and licking. Teddy may come up to you for pets, but he prefers to be independent. He does love his brother though, and he will do whatever his brother does. If his brother barks, he will bark. If his brother scratches at the door, he was scratch at the door. Teddy likes his space most of the time, so allow him to have his space whenever he wants it. If he is uncomfortable, he will growl at you. But he has never bitten anyone or nipped anyone. He may also hide, so you may need to try to find him. He likes to hide under the bed or in dark places. Teddy is neutral with dogs, so long as they give him space. He has to meet them one on one and without his brother as he has a superiority complex when his brother is around.“
