Adopter Teddy
German Shepherd · Ukendt · Ung · 3 år
Hvor skal vi dog starte med denne meget flotte dreng.. Teddy er en stor tysk hyrdehund og er 3 år gammel. Det ser ud til, at han allerede har haft mindst 3 hjem i sit korte liv. Det første hjem, det lyder til, at han blev opgivet på grund af triste og ægte omstændigheder, men det sidste hjem, som Teddy endte i, kostede næsten hans liv. Teddy ankom til os med haltende på forbenet til venstre, han bar ca. 50% af sin vægt. Med smertestillende medicin, antiinflammatoriske midler og kennelhvile ser det ud til, at hans ben heler fint. Han har set en dyrlæge, og de mente, at han led af bløddelsskader - årsag ukendt. Den stakkels Teddy led også af en loppeinfestation, hans bagende og hale var skaldede af alt tygning, kløen må have været vanvittig. Han er nu blevet behandlet for lopper og orm med de bedste tilgængelige produkter. Hans kløer var lange, hans muskler syntes at være svage - vi fik at vide, at han aldrig kom ud på gåture - og han var meget undervægtig. Vi bygger Teddy langsomt op igen med små, regelmæssige måltider, og når hans ben er helt helet, starter vi ham på et blidt træningsprogram og undersøger hydroterapi for at give ham den bedste start. Teddy er meget ængstelig i kenneler, disse racer klarer sig aldrig godt med minimal menneskelig kontakt, især efter at have boet i et hjem, hans eneste trøst i øjeblikket synes at være hans legetøj og bamser, det er sjældent, at vi nogensinde ser ham uden en i munden. De hjælper ham med at klare sig, og så får han en endeløs forsyning af dem hver dag. Teddy er en stor, stærk tysk hyrdehund, men han synes at have den mest venlige natur, han har ikke vist nogen aggression eller vagthundeproblemer over for nogen medarbejdere, frivillige eller nogen af de andre hunde på redningsstedet. Et hjem, der er aktivt, og som kan holde trit med hans fysiske og mentale behov, vil være en nødvendighed, og nogen, der er hjemme det meste af dagen, eller som langsomt kan opbygge hans tid alene, vil være en nødvendighed for at sætte ham op til succes i hans nye hjem. Vi har kun kunnet lave minimale interaktioner med Teddy på redningsstedet på grund af, at han endnu ikke er blevet kastreret, men han har ikke vist nogen aggression eller reaktivitet overhovedet, han vil bare være alles ven. Vi har endnu ikke testet Teddy for katte, det vil ske, når han er kommet sig efter sin kastration. Teddy har høje energ

Where do we even start with this very handsome boy.. Teddy is a large German Shepherd and is 3 years old. It seems that in his short life, he has already had at least 3 homes. The first home, it sounds like he was given up through sad and guenuine circumstances however, the last home that Teddy ended up in, almost cost him his life. Teddy arrived with us with a limp on his front left leg, he was weight baring approximately 50% of the time. With pain meds, anti inflammatories and kennel rest, his leg seem to be healing nicely. He has seen a vet and they believed he was suffering with soft tissue damage - cause unknown. Poor Teddy was also suffering with a flea infestation, his back end and tail was bald from all of the chewing, the itching must have been driving him crazy. He has now been flead and wormed up to date with the best products available to help him. His nails were long, his muscles seemed weak - we were advised that he never got out for walks - and he was very underweight. We are slowly building Teddy back up with small, regular meals and once his leg is fully healed we'll be starting him on a gentle exercise programme and looking into hydrotherapy for him to give him the best start. Teddy is highly anxious in the kennels, these breeds never do well being cooped up with minimal human company especially after living in a home, his only comfort at the moment seems to be his toys and teddy bears, it's rare that we'll ever see one not in his mouth. They are helping him cope though and so gets and endless supply of them on a daily occassion. Teddy is a large, powerful GSD but seems to have the most gentle nature, he's shown no aggression or guarding issues towards any staff, volunteers or any of the other dogs at the rescue. A home that is active and that will be able to keep up with his physical and mental needs is going to be a must and someone that is home for a majority of the day, or that can help slowly build up his time alone, is going to be a must to set him up for success in him new home. We've only been able to do minimal interactions with Teddy at the rescue due to him not yet being castrated but he has shown no aggression or reactivity what so ever, he just wants to be everyone's friend. We've not yet cat tested Teddy, this will come once he's recovered from his castration. Teddy has high energy levels, alongside this, he is very intelligent and will require lots of mental stimulation to keep him occupied and prevent him getting bored Whilst being at the kennels, Teddy has shown that his anxiety levels are through the roof and that he's currently struggling with seperation anxiety. In a home, Teddy will need to be left alone for as minimal periods as possible whilst he learns that it is ok to be by himself sometimes and that he is safe We've not yet had Teddy outon a lead whilst he is recovering from his leg injury Teddy shows to have basic training. We do not know if he is house trained and this is something that may need to be worked on once he's in a home
