Age: Teddy is a 1 year, 9-month-old male chocolate German Shepherd/ Husky mix

Personality: Playful, intelligent, silly, energetic, confident, social (primarily with dogs, likes people)

Highlights: Not only totally lovable, Teddy is an intelligent young man who will happily “sit” at the promise of a cookie, and looks forward to learning more through consistent training sessions and, of course, more cookies.

As an athletic, sociable and enthusiastic pup, Teddy will be happiest with an active adoptive home that can offer him regular exercise and outlets for that signature big-nosed shepherd curiosity. Teddy will also thrive under the care of experienced dog owners who can provide for the individual needs of his breed, like grooming sessions and interactive toys to keep his lively mind occupied. Teddy would benefit from continued training to help his socialization skills with other dogs (he loves to play and is enthusiastic with his canine friends).

Availability: Teddy is available at the Jackson County Animal Shelter, 5595 S. Pacific Hwy., Phoenix. The shelter is open 11 a.m.-4 p.m. Tuesday-Friday and noon – 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Walk-ins welcomed. No appointment needed. View Jackson County’s adoptable pets at jacksoncountyor.gov/pets.
