Teddy needs space and attention
Teddy is a shelter dog who has been with us shy of 8 years. He was abandoned as a pup with his siblings. He is the only one to survive and was named Teddy Roosevelt by the Shelter who recused him for his perseverance. He is stubborn, sensitive to noise, large dogs and likes to have his own way in all things. Despite his sensitivities, Teddy can also be very playful, loving, and cute.

Rehoming reason details (if necessary):
Teddy would sit on your lap all day long. We live in a tiny apt. My son is going to be traveling and I work alot so he will be left alone alot. He likes having his own way--when he wants to walk etc. and I am not able to give him the attention and training he seems to be needing with increasing frequency. He is much easier when he is out of the city and has quiet. He needs someone with great patience to help him understand he can't always have his own way. He has bitten me of late--new behavior---and I am getting less able to care for him by myself.
