Teddy is a neutered male dog with a friendly, people-oriented temperament. He enjoys daily walks, regular outdoor activity, and visits to dog parks. He is attentive, food-motivated, and responds well to structure and routine.
Teddy is an expressive dog and may bark or “vocalize” when excited or when alerting to activity in his environment. He also displays some anxiety in new or unfamiliar situations, which improves with consistent schedules, reassurance, and predictable interactions.
He prefers households that can provide regular exercise, consistent guidance, and ongoing engagement. Teddy does best when he has companionship and clear expectations. He is well suited for adopters who can offer stability, daily activity, and a structured environment.
