Age: 4 years Gender: Male Color: Liver/White Weight: 39 lbs. Variety: Bench/Show-Bred Hi - My name is Ted, but my foster mom calls me Teddy. She says I am pretty cute and adorable. I am a small package, but am pretty good looking, if I say so myself. I came from a puppy mill near Colorado Springs - my foster mom thinks that I may have part of a breeding pair until the breeders decided they no longer needed me. The shelter was about ready to euthanize me because of my reserved nature. I am a shy, sweet boy without an ounce of aggression. I may not have had a lot of human contact. but I am learning to love being part of an ESS household. I wag my docked tail non-stop when my foster mom comes home and I LOVE spending time with my foster brothers. I need a family with a gentle touch who has the patience to help me learn to trust humans. I really like having a canine companion or two who can help me learn the ropes. I am a very polite boy who does not counter surf, learned the doggy door in no time flat and has very few expectations of my humans. I would do best in a quiet household. I am totally house trained and am learning to seek attention from my foster family. I am looking for a Forever Family to give me the chance that I haven't had so far in life! If you think I might be the dog for your family, please let us know! Love, Teddy Update 02 SEP 07: My foster mother tells me I am a total gentleman. I do fine left in the house alone and am respectful and sensitive to my foster brothers and sister. I am eating well and now have a beautiful shiny coat. I wag my tail all the time and am a happy boy who wants love and attention. I have a great time at the dog park and have made both dog and human friends.
