Teddy Bear - Shih Tzu Dog for Adoption in Aurora, Colorado

Meet Teddy Bear (Ted/ Bear) – Looking for His Perfect Forever Home

Ted is a 4-year-old, 16-pound Shih Tzu mix with a heart full of love and an adorable little tongue blep that will make you smile every day. He is a devoted companion who thrives on routine, comfort, and being close to his people.

Ted loves cuddling on the couch, playing fetch, carrying squeaky toys around the house, and curling up in a cozy blanket nest at the foot of the bed. He even enjoys watching TV and listening to soft jazz while relaxing at home. If you leave the house, don't be surprised if you come back to find one of your shoes relocated—Ted likes to carry them around as his way of saying he's happy you're home. He never chews them, just lovingly "borrows" them.

This sweet boy adores women and may take a little time to warm up to men, but once he trusts you, he is incredibly affectionate. He loves being held like a baby and is known for sneaking gentle kisses whenever he gets the chance.

Ted is house-trained, enjoys the company of other dogs, and has a moderate energy level. He can be a little bossy with his canine friends and prefers to enjoy high-value chew treats on his own. He is happiest in a calm, predictable home where he can feel safe and secure.

Because Ted is a sensitive soul who can become overwhelmed by noise, chaos, and a lot of activity, he is looking for an adult-only home with no children. He will thrive with patient adopters who appreciate his gentle nature and will provide the quiet, stable environment where he feels most comfortable.

Those who know Ted describe him as loving, loyal, funny, well-mannered, and incredibly special. He forms deep bonds with his people and wants nothing more than to be someone's cherished companion.

If you're looking for a sweet little shadow who will fill your days with love, cuddles, and plenty of personality, Ted may be the perfect match for you.
