Hi I'm Merrit and I'm new
I thought before making a bunch of posts I'm start a thread and introduce Teddie. I adopted a little Shih Tzu and named him Teddie Ruxpin.
I work with an animal rescue named A Different Breed and about three months ago a couple picked him up in Illinois. He was in the middle of a busy street and was almost hit by a car. Covered by mats and burs he was groomed further de-matted, but this couple couldn't keep him. So they brought him up to an adoption and were directed to me.
I was left with the decision of let him be taken to the city shelter or take him home and try to find him a new home. I took him home, not in the mind of keeping him, but just three days later I was in love.
I later found out he had been on the street twice before this one when he was picked up. His owner(s) picked him up but didn't fill out any information on his microchip. I looked hard for his owner(s), but to no prevail I couldn't find anyone.
Since I didn't find an owner of any sort and I couldn't get him into the special Shih Tzu rescue I had planned on taking him to; I took him to get his annual shots and to be neutered. I was thinking I would get most back when he was adopted and I got the adoption fee.
Well 2 months later and he doesn't look like he's going any were. All of our dogs love him and play with him which was kind of the selling point. We also have Buster who needed to loose some weight and with some of Teddies help he's dropped 10 lbs.
With that being said let me introduce Teddie http://www.petshub.com/forums/images/smilies/tongue.gif (broken link)
