Meet Ted, A 'Ted'-dy Bear of a Dog

Evanston Patch regularly features pets available for adoption from C.A.R.E. at Evanston's Animal Shelter.

I’m sweet, kind and sensitive—but also sometimes a little clumsy and clueless about my own strength and size. My puppy-like attitude will make you laugh while you watch me learn and mature. I can be very attentive one minute, then off investigating some sound or smell the next. I love to play and need lots of toys or tennis balls. Sometimes other dogs confuse me when they want to play, so I'll need socialization and positive experiences in that department. When I get scared all I want to do is run away, fast! If you are a patient person who’s looking for a ‘Ted’-dy bear of a dog, please come to meet me.

Ted's Stats:

  • Terrier Mix, 1 - 1.5 years old, Neutered male
  • ASPCA Canine-ality™ Assessment rating: Green / Life of the Party
  • Large size / weighs 60 lbs. 
  • Ted would do best in a home with children over 13 due to his large size. He needs work with other dogs (Ted gets easily overwhelmed), but absolutely no cats.
  • Ted needs minimal housebreaking.
  • Attendance in D.O.G. Obedience classes is required.
  • Ted is neutered, microchipped and has had a full veterinary checkup and vaccines.
