More about Teddy

Hello, my name is Teddy, or as my foster mom calls me, “Teddy Bear”! I am a sweet, approximately 13-year-old male Yorkie mix. I weigh in at a whopping 10 pounds, so I’m a little guy. I do really well with other small-to-medium dogs, but large dogs that don’t understand the warning to back off are a little overwhelming for me. I’m looking for a perfect retirement home. My foster mom says I’m one of the easiest fosters she has ever had. I eat well; she offers me wet food, but I like to go get in the kibble bowl and eat the kibble there, so small kibble would be great. I did have a drastic dental and only have 4 teeth in the upper front. Potty training, it was very apparent that I had never been taught to go potty outside, so my foster mom is working on that. She takes me outside first thing in the morning and I will immediately urinate. During the day she will leave the door open for me to go outside at will when the other dogs go out. If it's not too cold outside, I readily go out on my own and potty outside. Remember, I’m a little old man and can't always control my bladder – I do have an accident inside during the day, and sometimes in my kennel at night. I know what a potty pad is, so leaving one out for me to go on would be nice. I have a slight vision issue in my left eye, but it doesn’t slow me down from exploring. I may have a slight issue with hearing as well, but I am a senior, and it kind of comes along with age. I sleep all night in a kennel where my foster mom puts a soft doggie bed in, along with a warm blanket. So you don’t have to worry about my disturbing your sleep. I think a home with older kids who have an understanding about senior dogs would be okay -- but please, no little kids who might want to chase, as that would probably be scary for me. If you are looking for an unassuming, mild mannered, easy-going little man to have as a roommate, I would love for you to consider me.
