Teddy - Shar Pei and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in San Francisco, California

This handsome sweetheart lets you know he's happy and relaxed by unwinding his adorable tail, and lately, he's been a happy guy.

Teddy is about 54lbs (and needs to gain a few more). He loves a game of fetch and gets the zoomies sometimes before he's ready for a cuddle break. He loves to go out on walks and has done well on leash.

He's a playful, dog- and people-friendly pup and eager to jump in the car for an adventure. He'd be happy to stay home to play with toys, too. He's been charming volunteers with his sweet nature while he recovers from some procedures to improve his hearing and vision.

Teddy will need time to adjust to rescued life, and may need support with house-training. Come meet him and be the reason his tail unwinds! (AM)

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.

The Shar Pei is a distinctive breed known for their deep wrinkles and blue black tongue. Originally from China, these medium sized dogs are loyal, independent, and protective of their families. Shar Peis have a unique appearance with a hippopotamus like face and a broad, padded muzzle. Their coat can be either horse coat or brush coat, coming in a variety of colors. While they can be aloof with strangers, Shar Peis are devoted companions with a calm demeanor, making them wonderful family pets.
