Teddy Bear
Hello, my name is Teddy Bear. My animal id is #12462. I am a desexed male tan dog at the Manhattan Animal Care Center. The shelter thinks I am about 3 years old.
I came into the shelter as a stray on 13-Nov-2017.
Teddy Bear is at risk due to being diagnosed with Canine Infectious Reapiratory Fisease Complex which is contagious to other dogs. Teddy Bear will likely require in home care with a course of antibiotics. There are no known behavior concerns for Teddy Bear, average determination.
Let’s get to know each other a bit more…
A volunteer writes: Teddy Bear lets you know that he does not care for his kennel. Do not be mistaken. Let me out, let me out is simply what he is saying. Once leashed, Teddy Bear is an example in the street. A great bouncy and happy walker, likely house trained, fine with dogs met, oblivious to crowds , squirrels and birds. He is really the cutest in his cow print coat, very medium size and healthy looking. He loves to be free in the yard where he mostly sticks around, hops on the bench, sits for treats and just enjoys the company of a human. He seems happy and his tail wags non stop. Ask him to shake hand and he will, right and left. Teddy Bear obviously got some attention and training before he joins us at the care center. His stomach filled with treats, Teddy Bear is content and settles next to me on the bench for hugs and kisses. He will make a lively, friendly and affectionate companion given the chance to be adopted by you. Come and meet him at the Manhattan Care Center and get yourself a new wonderful furever best friend…
