Meet Teddy! This gentle little girl is looking for someone who will see past her shy demeanor and give her the chance she's been waiting for. The shelter is a scary place for Teddy, but every day she shows that she wants to trust and connect with the people around her.
With a calm voice, gentle praise, and a little patience, Teddy starts to relax and let her sweet personality shine. She enjoys taking her time to sniff and explore, and once she feels comfortable, she'll seek out affection, resting her paws in your lap and soaking up gentle pets.
Teddy can be startled by loud noises and is still gaining confidence with the leash, so she'll thrive with an adopter who is willing to let her move at her own pace. In return, you'll have the privilege of watching a timid dog transform into a devoted best friend. There's something incredibly special about earning the trust of a dog like Teddy, and every small victory feels like a huge accomplishment.
Teddy has met other dogs at the shelter, she can be easily uncomfortable and does best with polite and gentle friends. She will need to meet any potential doggie roommates to make sure they are a good match.
If you're looking for a kind-hearted companion and have a little extra patience to give, Teddy could be the perfect addition to your family. Come meet this sweet girl at BARCS and help her discover what it feels like to be truly home.
