About This Dog

Teddy's ideal home

Teddy is looking for patient, understanding adopters who are prepared to take things at his pace. He will need people who can give him time to build trust and confidence.

Teddy also has some medical needs which we'd be happy to discuss further with you.

Teddy will need ongoing training and support to gradually experience new people, places and situations. Tasty treats are a great way to help Teddy feel more comfortable and encourage him when learning.

If you can offer Teddy a calm home, plenty of patience, positive experiences and the time he needs to settle in, you could help him become a much more confident and happy little companion.

Could you be Teddy's perfect match?

Teddy is a fun-loving little Shih Tzu who enjoys playing, tasty treats and learning new things. He can be a little nervous when meeting new people and dogs, and may initially greet them with a bark or growl. Once he realises he is safe, he settles and can enjoy getting to know you.

When Teddy trusts you, he loves having a fuss and showing his affectionate side. He is a bright boy who enjoys positive training and would love to continue building his confidence with his new family.

Teddy would like to be the only dog in his new home and would prefer a quiet environment where he can have his own space. He cannot live with cats. He could potentially live with teenagers who understand that he can be nervous and will respect his boundaries.

Teddy enjoys travelling in the car and is happy settling in his crate when left. He can find some handling and veterinary visits worrying, so his new family will need to understand that he may need extra support in these situations.
