Are you looking for a quiet calm laid back male puppy who is a sweetheart? Teddy loves to be cuddled and would probably do best with older kids as he's a fragile wee boy. He's great with other dogs, unsure about cats. 

Whilst we know mom is a blue heeler mix, she is only 24lbs so we don't expect these puppies to be large. However we cannot offer any guarantees as Dad didn't stick around long enough to be identified.

Teddy was abandoned at the pound with his mom and siblings and has been cared for in a lovely foster home in Louisiana. He arrives in Seattle on June 21st and will be looking for his forever family right away. Could that be you? He is very much a puppy with puppy needs, cannot be left alone for long periods of time, will need a safe puppy proofed environment and someone with the patience to potty train!

If that could be you, We do require a home and reference checks before adoption and with our puppies the adoption contract states that a training class is also mandatory. The puppies are currently too young to be altered, however Aarf requires proof of spay/ neuter before your puppy reaches 6 months of age. If surgery is carried out with one of our approved vets Aarf will cover the cost. Whilst you may have a preference for a particular puppy and we will try to take that into consideration, primarily we match our puppies to their families by personality not looks. As a purely foster based rescue we have no central location at which you can visit our dogs, consequently we only honor meeting requests from preapproved adopters.  You are welcome to fill in our online application at www.myaarf.org; please fill this in as fully as you can.  It won't obligate you to anything or any particular dog but gives us a great place from which to begin the matching process.  Please allow 24-48 hours for a response from our busy volunteers. Adoption Fee is $400 which includes all transport, vetting (including spay/neuter) and microchipping.
