Personality & Behavior
Teddy Bear is a 10-month-old gentle giant with a heart as big as his paws. At 37 kg, he is still very much a puppy, full of energy, affection, and enthusiasm for life. He has so much love to give to the right family.
Teddy, his brother, and their family were sadly abandoned in Faro and spent time living on the streets in very difficult conditions, surrounded by dog fights. Thankfully, a kind lady was feeding them and helping them survive. Teddy struggled the most, as he is sensitive and gentle by nature very much an “underdog” despite his size.
Teddy Bear is a truly special dog who just needs the right environment to shine. Whether through fostering or, ideally, adoption, offering Teddy a home would be incredibly rewarding, he will repay it with loyalty, affection, and endless love.
Teddy is currently in foster care in Albufeira, where Alison works with him daily on training, boundaries and adapting to home life. He is doing extremely well and continues to demonstrate just how much he can flourish with clarity, time and commitment.
Adoption Requirements
Home type : An active family or individual who enjoys walks, outdoor activities, and engaging with their dog. A home with space, ideally a secure garden, to match his size and energy
Experience level : Adopters who understand that large-breed puppies need time, structure, training, and consistency. Some experience with dogs (especially larger breeds) is preferred
Other pets/kids : Generally good with most dogs when properly introduced. Cats: Not suitable for a home with cats
Best suited to a home with older, dog-savvy children due to his size and enthusiasm.
