💔 TEDDY DOESN’T WANT MUCH. HE JUST WANTS HIS PERSON CLOSE BY.
Teddy is a 3-year-old, 20 lb Pug/Chihuahua mix in Holly Springs, NC, with a tender heart, a shy little soul, and a very strong opinion that humans should simply stay home with him forever. 😂❤️

Once Teddy feels safe, he becomes the sweetest little shadow — following you from room to room, snuggling beside you, joining you in the yard, and happily soaking up all the attention you’ll give him.
🐾 3 years old | 20 lbs
🐶 Dog friendly
👧 Best with older, calm, respectful kids
🏡 Working on house training — uses p*e pads
🦮 Walks nicely in the neighborhood
🌳 Fence not required, but preferred
🐱 Cats not tested — open to a meet-and-greet
❤️ Medium energy
🚫 Does NOT enjoy being crated
Teddy is shy at first and may bark or growl when meeting someone new or when a person re-enters a room. He isn’t trying to be difficult — he’s anxious and needs slow introductions, patience, and reassurance.
His biggest challenge is separation anxiety.
Teddy struggles when left alone, even if other dogs are around. His ideal adopter is someone who works from home, is retired, has a flexible schedule, or simply loves bringing their dog along for everyday life.
Basically, Teddy is applying for the position of Full-Time Best Friend. 😂
He’s still working on potty training and may have occasional accidents, but he’s not destructive and is making progress with consistency.
Teddy isn’t the dog who will instantly love everyone.
He’s the dog who needs time to decide you’re safe.
And once he does?
You get the snuggles.
You get the loyalty.
You get the little shadow who just wants to be wherever you are. ❤️
