Hi, my name is Teddy. I’m a 10 month old, 10lb, Shih Tzu puppy. Up until now, I’ve lived a sheltered life with little socialization. I love running free in the fenced yard or playing quietly with toys in the house. Riding in a car and walking on a leash are both still new for me. I’m doing well with housetraining when taken out regularly. New situations, sounds, people, and especially children make me nervous. My New England foster home has three other dogs that are showing me the ropes. They let me share their bed, too, which helps me feel secure. Don’t tell anyone, I’m afraid of the dark. I love hanging out with my foster family and never let them leave my sight. I’d like an adult-only home with a stay-at-home person and another dog that will continue to show me that the world is a safe place and I am loved. #7625
