Update 6/2026 We have made the decision that Teddy should be a Joyful sanctuary dog as he is likely the happiest he has ever been in his life and chances are he's not going to make another year with his medical conditions. We love Teddy and will let him go peacefully and painlessly when it is his time. Teddy was born around March 1, 2015 and weighs about 15 pounds. Teddy came to us when his human grew elderly and could no longer care for him or herself and went into assisted care. Ok, so here is what we know about Teddy. He may have protein-losing nephropathy or Cushing's disease. He also has bilateral grade 2 luxating patellas (very common and non-painful) and we've seen no issue, Lenticular Sclerosis (normal aging of the eyes), and several pea-sized adenomas (non-cancerous tumors). Teddy tested positive for Lyme disease in 2017 and then tested negative in 2025 (yay!). Lastly its noted in his medical records in 2016 that he likely was hit by a car at some point in his life. Are you still reading? If you are, then you need to know Teddy is an absolute sweetheart who loves life and his humans. Teddy rides beautifully in the car and walks nicely on a leash. Teddy is fine with other dogs, and we can't imagine he would have an issue with cats, but ask us to cat test him if you are interested. Teddy is not much of a barker, but after he decides to love you and you leave him alone there is a very pathetic howl for a short time and then he settles in and is comfortable. He should be fine with older, respectful children. So this is Teddy, and he deserves to live out the rest of his days as a cherished family member. You will have higher vet bills, and you will have to say goodbye sooner rather than later, but adopting a senior dog is something you will never forget or regret. The Adoption Fee for this dog is $150.00. Adoptions fees vary based on adoptability. In general our fees include spay/neuter, all age appropriate vaccines, Home Again micro-chipping & registration, worming & flea control - a "complete" pet. We accept CASH or Visa/Mastercard ONLY. Joyful Rescues has no funding except for our adoption fees and miscellaneous donations. Pet care and vet bills are expensive - you must be ready to take on this financial (as well as emotional) responsibility. YOU MUST BE AT LEAST 25 YEARS OF AGE TO ADOPT A DOG FROM JOYFUL RESCUES We keep our pet list as up-to-date as possible. As soon as a pet is adopted, it is removed from the list. If a pet is still showing, it is still available for adoption. Can't Adopt Me? SPONSOR ME Look for the Link "Special Instructions to Seller" if you want to note a particular pet
