Ted
Ted is an affectionate, playful lurcher with a big heart and plenty of charm! This handsome boy thrives on human interaction and loves nothing more than spending time with his people. Whether it's a game of tug, chasing a ball, or happily chewing on his favorite antler horn, Ted brings joy and energy to every moment.
After a good walk or play session, Ted is more than happy to relax at home. He settles well and sleeps soundly through the night, making him an easy and delightful companion. Ted is also a fantastic travel buddy – he hops right into the car and enjoys the ride, making him perfect for adventures near and far.
Confident and adaptable, Ted takes new environments in stride. He isn’t bothered by traffic or busy public spaces, and he loves exploring new places with his humans by his side. With a balanced energy level, he’s the perfect mix of playful and laid-back, always ready for a game but equally content to curl up for a snooze.
Ted is a smart boy who is food-motivated and eager to please, which makes training fun and rewarding. He’s already learning the ropes in his foster home and is sure to blossom even more with patient, experienced owners.
While Ted has so much love to give, he does have a couple of quirks that need managing. He has shown signs of resource guarding and can be a bit of an escape artist, so he needs a secure garden and sighthound-experienced owners who can help him work through these challenges. With the right guidance and structure, Ted will continue to thrive and make a wonderful addition to the right home.
Ted recently underwent tail amputation surgery and is recovering beautifully in his foster home. He’s already settling in well – he jumped straight into the backseat during his transfer, enjoyed cuddles on the ride home, and wasted no time exploring his new surroundings. He’s proven to be a quick learner (and a bit of a counter surfer!), but his affectionate nature shines through in every interaction.
If you’re an experienced sighthound owner looking for a loyal, fun-loving companion, Ted could be your perfect match. He’s ready to share his warmth, playfulness, and big heart with a family who will love him unconditionally.
