Meet Carleton (Now known as Teddy!), estimated 12-14 yrs age, Poodle / Bichon Friese Mix, 15 lbs. and a Very Cute Snaggletooth on bottom! He was returned after 6 yrs, No fault of his own, due to family didn't have enough time for him now. Teddy is a Very Sweet Senior who is losing his sight and hearing, but foster parents have been able to use higher voices to call him and catch his attention. He's still active hanging with other dogs his size. He previously lived with kids and likes kids. He is housebroken but will lift his leg inside house; we catch him doing it, correct him and he goes outside. Would like a Fenced Yard and another dog to hang with. Rides well in the car.
