About Teddy
Hi I’m Teddy!
I’m an 8 year old long haired chihuahua and I’m ready to find my forever home. Could it be your home?
I’m a friendly boy who loves the company of my humans, and I also love massages, brushes, and baths so get ready to pamper me! Walks are fun, but you have to let me have a good sniff around - I’m not an athlete, I’m a more ‘stop and smell the roses’ kinda guy.
Now what I really don’t like is being left alone, I get really sad and will try to escape. If you have to leave me for short periods that’s ok, but I’d rather tag along with you. I haven’t had much to do with kids either, so for these reasons I would like a home with people who are home a lot, and no small kids... maybe you work from home, or are retired? That would be perfect!
Have a read through my medical notes - I’m in pretty good shape, and if you think you could be part of my future and make my life great, get in touch!
Look forward to meeting you!

Medical notes
Teddy has recently been desexed, had a dental with 4 teeth extracted, and also had surgery to remove his anal glands after a pea sized lump was detected. The lab results showed the lump was a piece of benign fibrous tissue, nothing of concern.
He is considered a senior dog at 8 years old, and he has some low grade patella luxation that doesn’t seem to affect his movement, so we decided to not put him through surgery.
We would recommend he start on a joint support such as Osteocare, to offer support to those joints as he ages.
Teddy is microchipped and up to date with C5 vaccinations as well as heart worm, intestinal worm and flea and tick prevention

We encourage you to provide as much detail as possible about your family and your home as this helps us make sure we match you with the most suitable dog.
This form can be found at the following address: http://www.emailmeform.com/builder/form/Kczrs885x4lq3N9u4mQhca
Due to the large volume of inquiries we are unable to respond to all applications. If you are considered suitable for the dog you have applied for you will be contacted witihin one week of applying.
Please note: we do not organise any meet and greet without a completed expression of interest form.
Our adoption process involves:

We ask that you pay the dogs adoption fee at the beginning of the adoption trial, however this will be refunded if for any reason the dog is not working out in your home within the four week period. We offer a four week adoption trial to make sure that you have plenty of time for your new dog to settle into your home and so we can offer you full support during this period and beyond.
