Teddy - In Foster Care

Name: Teddy

Age: Estimated 4 years

Breed: Beagle

Sex: Male (altered)

Location: Northeast AR

Vet Info: Teddy is confirmed neutered. He is up to date on vaccines and received one-year rabies, distemper, and parvo vaccines on 4/30/14. A fecal sample was also negative at that time. He is heartworm positive. Teddy weighs approximately 35 pounds.

Owner Info: Teddy is a very handsome fellow currently in a foster home through another rescue. He was originally saved from a kill shelter. The foster home has another dog that doesn't like Teddy, and they are unable to find a different foster home for him. Teddy has been in three different foster homes, but the first was not able to keep him, and the second and third both had dogs that didn't like him.  Teddy is completely blind. One eye has a cataract and the other has an ulcer, likely due to an untreated eye infection. The rescue has been told that Teddy's cataract can be fixed, and they're trying to raise funds for his surgery. Teddy is an indoor dog with run of the house, he is housebroken and leash trained. He is good with people of all ages and both male and female dogs. Teddy is not possessive of toys, treats, or food. The only time he's ever shown aggression is "after he was attacked by another dog and even then he only howled and snapped but did not go after the dog" (he did not bite or lunge at the dog).  His current foster says he adapts to new situations very well! She writes, "He adapted to my home almost immediately. I have been shocked at his ability to adapt!" 

Update 7/11/14: We've heard from Teddy's current rescue, and there is $1,000 in donations to be used specifically for Teddy's cataract surgery to a legitimate 501c3 rescue who is able to place him!  Teddy's current foster will also transport Teddy, so please do not let distance be a factor!
