Teddy

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 9 years

Teddy is a 9 year old Maltichon who is looking for a new home as his owners are no longer able to care for him. Teddy has been doing great since he arrived to us – full of beans, very sociable and handles beautifully. He walks really well on lead and is a happy, well-balanced boy. Teddy is used to having someone around most of the time so we hope to find him a home where he can be with his owner(s) most of the day. He is very much a companion pet, he will want to sit on laps and follow you around! Teddy has always had a mild seasonal skin dryness. He does not need medication for it, nor does he show any signs of irritation or scratching. If he weren’t so close-shaven at the moment one wouldn’t even know, but there is one darker dry patch evident on his back. A bath with something herbal and soothing like Botanica wash every few weeks might be something for a future owner to consider. We would prefer to see Teddy living somewhere with a secure garden. He could live with children 8+.

About Teddy

What life with Teddy looks like

Teddy is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at West Cork Animals in Cork.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇮🇪Adopting from Ireland

Irish shelters require a home check (often phone or video) and an adoption contract. Animals are vaccinated, chipped, and registered. Cross-border placements to mainland Europe require the rabies titer test (TRACES system).

Frequently asked

Adopting Teddy, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Teddy?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. West Cork Animals handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Teddy on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Teddy if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — West Cork Animals will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Teddy already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Teddy isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with West Cork Animals early rather than rehoming privately; they know Teddy and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
