Teddy has found his forever home! Congratulations little guy!
Hi, My name is Teddy!
I am about the most loving lap dog you will ever meet. I am a delightful terrier/Chihuahua mix with the most charming personality. I am just 7 years old and weigh about 12 pounds. I live in Las Vegas, Nevada at the moment. I am happy to move to where you live, as long as you will come and meet me and my owner here in Vegas.
I am very devoted and like to attach myself like a barnacle to my owner. I was rescued as a puppy from a situation where I was being bullied by some bigger dogs, and as a result, I am fearful of other dogs. I run and hide and really don’t enjoy being around them.
Cats, on the other paw, are purrfectly fine with me. I don’t pay any attention to them, nor they to me.
I like kids, but not the noisy and boisterous kind – or the kind that think I am a toy to be squished, poked and prodded. Calm, older kids who understand how to treat dogs with respect are great. I am very social. I like to spent time on everyone’s lap.
I am very healthy and up to date on my shots. I am neutered and house broken.
My owner is devastated. She is having to move to Texas, and simply cannot take me with her to where she is going. She is dearly hoping to find someone who will cherish me as much as she does. I need someone to spend time with me and make me feel safe, happy, healthy and loved.
If you have room in your heart and home for a cute little cuddle pup like me, please consider offering me the home I deserve. I’m all about the love – and any kindness you show me will be reciprocated ten-fold.

Personality
Teddy is very sweet and lovable, he wants to be with someone all of the time and just sit in their lap. He likes to go for walks, but going to the dog park is useless. He is skittish about other dogs approaching him so he would just sit in my lap. If he is with another dog one on one and he can approach first, he is ok. Cats don’t bother him at all. He is just a little curious. He will bark at strangers and he will bark when someone comes in your house until they talk to him and pet him. He thinks everyone is coming to see him. He is a good boy and very smart. He is very in tune to humans.
Reason For Rehoming
I have to relocate to Texas and I can’t take him with me.
