Description:
Meet Teddy!

Teddy is a very sweet boy who is well loved. Sadly, his family has to give him and his friend Sophie up. There is a new baby in the house who has severe pet allergies. This is the last thing his family wanted to do, but they have no choice. The have now enlisted our help in finding him a new and loving forever home.

Teddy is very carefree and lovable. We think he will adjust easily to a new home because of his nature. He is on a diet to help him shed a few pounds. Teddy is house trained and paper trained and also was previously crate trained, but hasn't used it for many years. He does have a tendency to lick quite a bit but, he will stop if you tell him to. Teddy also likes to eat paper and will get into the garbage can if it is accessible, but if it is sprayed with Bitter Apple, he won't touch it.

Teddy loves to go for walks, play fetch, go for car rides, and cuddle. He also seems to alway crave attention! He enjoys having someone to pet him or play with him. He adores all people, including small kids and he gets along well with other dogs too.

***NOTE***Teddy needs to eat Science Diet UD due to bladder stone history. He had surgery in 2005 and has had no issues since being put on that food. His new home will need to be committed to getting the special food -$60 a bag, which works out to be about $15 a month.

*The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility and does not come with a pedigree. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed. Sometimes the pets appear to be a particular breed(s) in the pictures we receive from our rescue partners and when they arrive we are surprised to see an entirely different breed(s) in person! If you choose to DNA test your adopted pet, test results may vary from company to company and our breed guess may not be reflected in those results as it is just that, our best guess. It is with deep longing that we wish there was a breed called "cute" as we believe all of our dogs would fall under this new breed classification!

Completion of an Adoption Application via our website www.midwestanimalrescue.org is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is the first step in our adoption process.

*Animals who are not fully vaccinated and altered are not eligible for long distance adoption.

When you adopt a pet from Midwest Animal Rescue and Services, your adoption fee covers: Microchip and registration, Core Vaccines including Rabies, Distemper and bordetella, age appropriate heartworm testing or FeLV-FIV testing, sterilization, heartworm/flea-tick prevention and deworming while in foster care.

Adoption fees are non-negotiable and can be paid by cashier's check, money order or credit card. We do not accept personal checks.

Any issues that arise after adoption are the full responsibility of the adopter after the finalization of adoption. Adoption fees are only part of the expense of owning a pet, so we ask you to consider the costs for the life of the pet before adoption. We recommend pet insurance.
