A Note from the Foster: Hey you, down here, I'm Teller!!
I had a rough start to my life but I can tell that whatever my future holds is so much better and I can't wait to see where I end up!
Let me tell you a little about myself!
I'm learning how to "dog" as my foster mom calls it, so give me some grace! 💕
• I'm estimated at a little over 1 year old, listed as a boxer mix, who weighs around 38 pounds! I need to put on some healthy weight but I'm small & compact. My foster mom tells me I'm the perfect size!
• Almost fully potty trained - I know where to do my business but I'm still trying to figure out how to hint that I need to go out!
• I'm crate trained - I love to take naps and get enrichment toys in here, sometimes I whine for the first couple minutes because I know I'm missing out on some fun but quiet down quick! I sleep soundly all night! 💤
• I love cuddles and meeting new people in my house. I like to think i'm a lap dog & I give in to all the love I can get! Meeting people in the big scary world is a little tough for me but I'm quickly learning & opening up!
• My foster mom thinks I would do ok with kids with some patience!
• I've enjoyed meeting new dog friends in my foster home but I'm still learning how to play - my foster siblings are showing me the ropes! I prefer to play with similar size dogs to me, big dogs can be a little intimidating at first.
• I know how to sit already and I'm really good at it! I'm a fast learner and just want to please my people.
• I'm such a goofy, bouncy, happy boy once I get comfortable!
I have so much love to give & cannot wait to find my forever home. While I'm searching for that forever home I'll be soaking up all the love from my foster family while they continue showing me the ropes of "dog life"!
Love, Teller 🤍🐾

Adoption Status: Is this dog available? Submitting an application is the best first step to learning if a dog is still available. There is a chance this dog could have a pending adoption when your application is submitted, however our team will offer approved applicants to be put on a waiting list for that dog. Additionally, we can make recommendations on other dogs that may be a match. Pending adoptions do not mean the adoption is finalized. Why did we implement this change? We implemented this update because, unfortunately, dogs were pending for applicants for several weeks and then the applicant would change their mind. This happens more often with puppies, as applications are submitted impulsivly more often for them. Our process is great because it takes a little time, so impulsive decisions fade. However it was unfortunate for the dogs, and the foster homes, as then the process needed to be re-started. By securing a wait-list we are able to move forward more quickly if a pending adoption falls through. This is a new process for us, so your feedback along the way is helpful! Thank you for supporting rescue and adoption!
