Come meet me at Paw - Adoption fee $450 Meet Ted! This middle-aged Lhasa Apso mix may be small, but he has a BIG personality! Ted is social, outgoing, clever, and full of confidence. He knows what he wants, has a bit of a bossy streak, and isn't afraid to let you know what he thinks! Ted has had a difficult past, but he's not looking for someone to simply feel sorry for him. He's looking for someone who understands him and can give him the active, engaging life he needs. This little guy has plenty of drive and a busy mind! He's not content to just hang out at home all day. Ted wants to learn, play, explore, and be challenged. He'll thrive with someone who enjoys training, interactive games, and providing plenty of mental stimulation. While Ted is friendly and enjoys being around people, that doesn't mean he's immediately comfortable with everything you might want to do with him. A relationship with Ted needs to be built, not rushed. He needs someone who will take the time to earn his trust, respect his boundaries, and help him develop positive associations with handling and everyday interactions. Ted would do best in a home with older children who are mature enough to actively participate in his training, recognize his signals, and respect his personal space. Ted doesn't need someone to rescue him from his past. He needs someone ready to embrace his personality, invest in his future, and build a lasting friendship with him. If you're looking for a spirited, intelligent little companion who will keep you on your toes and make you work for his friendship, Ted might just be your guy!
