Teddy has been adopted! 01-25-2014
Teddy is a very large guy. He is probably close to 100 lbs. We placed him as a puppy and unfortunately, he was able to get away with lots of bad behavior and, like most dogs with a Shepherd DNA, took over the house as he grew older & bigger.
Teddy's family was not willing to do further training so we took him back. He is a sweet boy but he definitely needs someone who can set boundaries for him. He loves his toys to a fault so we don't want to place him in a home with toddlers. He'll be fine with pre teen, teenagers and will benefit from a family that has big dog experience.
Teddy just wants to have fun - he is really gorgeous, doesn't have a mean bone in his body but he was allowed, in his first home, to run the place so sometimes he thinks he's the head of the household. He will be a great addition to an active, strong leadership home.
The minimum adoption donation for adults is $375 and the adoption donation for puppies is $500. This amount only partially covers the cost of veterinary care, boarding fees, and other miscellaneous expenses involved in the temporary care and adoption of our dogs and is tax deductible when permitted by law. The adoption donation provides that all dogs will be spayed or neutered, receive current vaccinations, and are microchipped. If not, arrangements will be made on an individual basis ( i.e., puppies who will need to be altered by 6 mos old). Special consideration may be given to those willing to adopt older dogs or dogs with physical problems.
