Teddy was found by a kind person in Belleville, and he was so nervous, it took her two weeks just to get him to come to her!  When Teddy's foster mom took him in, he was very thin and very shy.  It didn't take him long, however, to come out of his shell!  He has turned out to have the best personality--he's sweet, playful, and thinks that everyone and anything is his friend--any size dog, cats, even children!  He came into the rescue limping, and after a visit to the vet to get his vaccines and wellness check, it was discovered that he had a fractured hip!!  The vet's best guess was that he was hit by a car, and had been walking on that injured leg for WEEKS or even longer!  So, Teddy had a surgery to fix his leg, and even though it was a very painful surgery, he still gets around quite well while it is healing and even tries to play with his foster mom's other dogs.  Teddy is housetrained and his only problem is that he wants to be wherever his foster mom is, and that will sometimes include trying to run out of the front door when she goes to work so that he can go with her.  However, she is working on that with him and it's getting much better. 

The foster mom would like to adopt her out within an hours drive of St. Louis, MO.
