About Teddy:

· 🏠 Housetraining in progress

· 🐶 Small-dog friendly 

· 🐱 Likes cats but cats in the foster home are not a fan

· 🦮 Still working on harness & leash walking

· 🏡 Fenced yard not required

This handsome 16-week-old boy is a typical puppy—playful, curious, full of energy and always ready for his next adventure! After a good play session, he loves cuddling on his foster mom’s lap for a well-deserved nap.

His housetraining is still a work in progress, so his new family will need to continue working with him using patience, consistency and positive reinforcement.

A fenced yard is not required. However, if the home has a fenced yard, it must be a secure physical fence with no gaps. Whenever he is outside of a securely fenced yard, he must be kept on a harness and leash. He should never be allowed off-leash in an unsecured area.

Because he is a tiny, energetic puppy who could easily get underfoot, he will not be placed in a home with very young children or anyone who uses a wheelchair or walker.

If you’re ready for puppy kisses, playful antics and plenty of cuddles, this sweet boy may be the perfect addition to your family! 💙
