๐ Rescue Story & Current Situation
๐ถ Teddyโs owner described how deeply she loves him โ but how her life has become confined because of his panic when left alone. Teddy lives in a flat and when even short absences cause barking, it leads to neighbour complaints and worsening stress for both. Heโs a highly intelligent, sensitive boy whose anxiety caused with luck of physical and mental stimulation due to ownerโs health issues and flat living environment.
Teddyโs owner said it best:
โHeโs the most loving, clever dog โ he just needs someone who has time, patience, and energy for him. He deserves to be happy.โ
Heโs healthy, clever, and loves learning tricks. He thrives with people he knows, loves walks, toys, and games, and bonds deeply with his trusted humans. But he canโt cope with isolation yet โ heโll need patience, routine, and gentle separation training to help him feel secure (rescue is happy to provide training guidance).
๐พ More Details
๐ถ Teddy is around 10-11 kg, compact and fluffy, upper-small in size. He lives in a flat with a small patio and sleeps in a crate in the bedroom. He is house-trained, though pulls and sometimes barks on lead out of excitement, especially at people, dogs, or vehicles. Teddy lives with another small dog and is friendly. He shows curious, playful interest in cats and has been gentle around them.
He loves attention and thrives on human companionship, so a home where someone is present most of the time at least during the first few months would suit him best. He will need an active home with a garden where he can play and release energy. His diet consists of Pooch & Mutts Salmon Digestion food.
Weโre happy to provide expert separation training materials and behavioural support to help him succeed. Those whoโve had small intelligent breeds like Bichons or Maltese will understand his quirky, emotional nature.
