Meet Teddy Bear

He is a 2 year old, 80-90 lbs big American Pit Bull Terrier, tan and white, neutered, up to date on his vaccines, and was already microchipped prior to being saved. Teddy Bear was saved from the Humboldt County Animal Shelter. He was tied up and abandoned in a random person's yard and then brought to the shelter. This dog was on the euthanasia list for being "dog aggressive." Turns out that Teddy Bear really likes other dogs as long as they are submissive and/or female. Teddy Bear is one of the most people friendly dogs we have right now. He is definitely a companion dog and definitely needs some TLC. When we rescued him, he had a severe skin condition which seems to be clearing with good food and frequent baths. We are currently treating him with medication for possible Demodetic Mange (genetic mange, non-contagious). This treatment will need to be continued after adoption.

Teddy Bear got his name because he is a big goof ball that thrives for attention. He LOVES to play with toys and loves to eat. This dog would be perfectly content hanging out and playing ball with his new family. Teddy Bear does well with children, except that he will knock them over, because he doesn't quite realize how big he truly is. Teddy Bear does know basic commands, but has the habit of jumping up to say "Hello!" Teddy Bear has some resource issues regarding his food and toys, however only shows these issues with other dogs-never with people. Teddy Bear has great respect for people and is easy to train-he just needs someone who can devote all of their attention to him for a few months and then he will be a wonderful companion for most.
