Meet Teddy Bear, a 6-year-old Shih Tzu who weighs in at 15 pounds. This sweet boy was surrendered when his previous owner could no longer care for him, and now he’s ready to find a new forever home.

Teddy Bear loves his walks and has a great appetite, but his favorite thing is snuggling up with his person once he gets to know you.

He’s not a barker or a yapper, preferring a calm and quiet presence. Teddy Bear does best when he’s not left alone for long—he truly loves having his human by his side. He rides well in the car, though he might give you a gentle whine to remind you he’s along for the adventure.

Teddy Bear can be a bit selective about his canine companions, so a proper introduction is key. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving little shadow, Teddy Bear could be the perfect fit.
