Teddy is almost three and he is a german shepard mix. I first met him when he was only four months old and fell in love with him immediately. Teddy belonged to my ex boyfriend and after we lost touch I was at the dog shelter when I saw Teddy staring back at me through the glass. An employee informed me that he had been abandoned on the side of the highway tied to a fence and had spent three months in the shelter. I immediately adopted him and brought him home. After his experience at the shelter Teddy exhibited a lot more protectiveness over me and the home. I have done my best to train him and he loves learning new things and working hard. Teddy loves dogs and cats, playing fetch, hiking, and exploring. He is quick to learn and loves training time. Teddy is trained with an e-collar as needed and loves his crate, he sleeps in it and stays in it when I am not home. He is extremely loyal and loving. Teddy has a hard time meeting new folks in the home but does great at the park, outside, or when other dogs are present. He needs support in order to not let his protective tendencies take over, but thrives in the right environment. Teddy will do best with other animals and lots of time spent outdoors. He has minimal experience with children but did well with my two year old niece and the one year old I formerly nannied. Teddy and I have lived in Asheville, NC for the past year and were displaced due to Hurricane Helene. As I try to make a new plan, I cannot ignore his needs are beyond my abilities at this time especially as we no longer have a consistent routine. I love this dog with all of me and as much as I want to make this work I must be honest with myself and the severity of our situation.
