Teddy is a 3yr old Tibetan Spaniel, he is neutered, vaccinated,
microchipped, flea and worm treated. He will be rehomed with 5 weeks
free pet insurance.

Teddy came to us from a vets where he had been taken in by his owners with a partially prolapsed eye after he had been involved in a scuffle with another resident dog. Sadly they asked for Teddy to be euthanised but luckily the vets got the owners to sign him over and asked for help.

Teddy underwent a procedure where his eye lid was partially sewn shut after his eye was gently put back in the right place, a drain was
inserted and he had various eye drops and pain relief. The stitch
remained in for several weeks but has now been removed and his eye is looking good. He may have lost some vision in the eye but it's
impossible to determine just how much, he can definitely still see out
of it.

Understandably after going through all of that and coming into a
totally new environment he was pretty traumatized on arrival with us
and didn't want anyone near him for over a week, snapping and trying
to bite if we approached. He was given a total hands off approach
until he was ready to move forward and then, once he began to trust
his fosterer he jumped up for a fuss and has been her best friend ever
since. We need a new home to be this patient too with him, please don't expect to bring him home and him want to interact straight away.

Teddy has proved himself to be a great little lad in so many ways, he
does have a nervous edge to him and likes having an open cosy covered crate as his safe space, he loves his little bed too and sleeps
quietly downstairs at night. He will bark at new people coming into
the house but quickly settles if ignored, he will now approach
visitors to the home once settled but we do ask people to be hands off
still so not to overload him as it's still early days. He will jump up
on the lap of people he trusts to enjoy a gentle fuss.

Teddy really isnt good with sharing his home with other dogs and needs to be the only dog in the home, he is a tiny boy at around 6kg but with the strong tibetan attitude of the breed. They are loyal
companions to their people but aloof with strangers. We have no way of testing how he feels about cats and he cannot be rehomed with resident children under 16yrs.

Teddy can be a little nervous on walks and needs a bit of gentle
encouragement on the lead, as such he will need to live in a quieter
area without loud noises and heavy traffic as he would be too worried.
He can snap at other dogs if they get too close to him on occasions.

He loves his food and is eating well and will take treats gently. He
loves playing with his various toys in the home and is housetrained
too.

Teddy will need a home with a nice fully enclosed garden to play in
with people who are experienced dog owners and who will listen to our
advice and give him the time and space to settle.

Being fostered in Swadlincote, South Derbys but can be rehomed further afield subject to homecheck and adoption donation of £300
