Teddy

About This Dog for Adoption

Teddy's ideal home

Meet Teddy– he’s an endearing, two-year-old Miniature Poodle with a sensitive soul and lots of love to give. Teddy seems to have lived a somewhat sheltered life, and he can find new experiences—especially meeting unfamiliar people or dogs—a bit overwhelming. He’s looking for a calm, adult-only home with no other pets, where he can settle in at his own pace. His ideal adopters will be keen to support him as he builds confidence, particularly around other dogs. A secure garden is essential, as he may need help establishing a new toileting routine, and being left alone will need to be introduced very gradually. Teddy’s curly coat requires regular grooming, so his new family should be prepared for the ongoing care and cost. He’ll need a patient, experienced groomer, as he has shown nervousness during grooming in the past.

Could you be Teddy's perfect match?

Once he feels safe, Teddy shows off his affectionate side—he’ll follow you around the house and ask for gentle fuss. He enjoys his walks and would love to explore quiet countryside or woodland areas. However, he’s not a huge fan of water, so beach walks are his least-preferred place to go! He has a few favourite soft toys, which he’ll likely begin playing with once he feels more settled, and a crate he sees as his safe space, so a quiet spot for this is a must. Teddy is currently in a foster home, where he's been a lovely houseguest but he’s now ready to find his forever home—somewhere he can truly relax and thrive.
