About Teddy

Adoption Fee: $150
Lhasa Apso
Age: Young Adult
Sex: Male

Teddy is a 5/6 year old Lhasa Apso who is extremely cute and absolutely loves to be pet and to be near his humans. However, given Teddy's suspected history of abuse, his protective behaviors are overpowering and have led to aggressive behaviors that have not been properly addressed. Teddy was purchased off of Craigslist 5 years ago from a home in which we (his original family) believe he was abused. He has lived with his current family since then who have spoiled him rotten. Teddy is housebroken, loves to be outdoors and go for walks, and will do anything for some treats. He is dog friendly, but he's mostly been around only dogs he knows. His parents have recently retired (one is a retired veterinarian) and are planning to travel for extended periods of time, and don't want Teddy to be cooped up in a tiny cage while they are gone. They have also realized that they can't provide the proper care or attention Teddy needs in order to address some of his behavioral problems. Many of his issues seem to stem from anxiety, and patience is required with this. Due to his history of suspected abuse, he does display some human aggression. He does not like quick movements of the arm or legs, threatening postures, pointed fingers, seeing his humans leave, seeing people hug his owner, and loud noises. An ideal home would be an adult home with no children. Teddy's new owners should be patient with him and willing to provide him lots of love and attention, and daily exercise. He has been well taken care of health wise. Up to date on shots, flea and heart worm meds, and is neutered. It has been extremely difficult for him parents to say goodbye to him, but they know it is for the best.
