Welcome to our Family, Teddy!

By
Real Estate Agent with Cummings & Co. Realtors

I wanted to share my love of dogs with you all.

 

We have, in the past, had three dogs. We love having a full house.

 

Since our eldest passed shortly after the birth of our son a little over three years ago, we waited to expand our brood since our son is now able and willing to be able to participate.

We also knew that we wanted to welcome a rescue dog into our home.

 

That happened yesterday!

 

This is our beautiful new boy! He is between 1-2 years old and was rescued from death row at a pound in Georgia. 

 

We are currently fostering him, as he needed an immediate home. But, we already filled out our application to make him a permanent member of our family!

 

He is big, loveable, sweet, and kind.

 

The rescue we received him from is called Recycled Love. They are located right here in Baltimore. They actually made the COVER of Sports Illustrated in December for their successful placement of TWO of Michael Vick’s pit bulls!

 

There are so many animals out there who are ready to love, receive love, and be a part of a family. So what if they aren’t puppies? First, there are plenty in shelters who ARE. But second, we have a dog who already knows to go to the bathroom outside, and is fully grown, and we have a history – his temperament and personality already in place. He's a little jumpy, but we'll get past that!

 

So please help your local shelters either through volunteering, fostering, monetary donations, or adoptions.

 

And if you are in Maryland, please consider Recycled Love. They have been WONDERFUL to work with!!!!

He's really trying to figure it out by the look on his face.  Someone is actually nice to him.  Congratulations - looks like you have a winner there!

Hi Jim! It's funny, today he is testing us. Like, OK , you say you love me & want me, let's see what I can do & you'll let me stay. Ha! Like that would change our minds on him being a member of our family. I know, he doesn't understand that -- but hey, I have a 3 year old son -- Teddy's got nothing on him! ;-)

Thanks Steve! He is just beautiful and so kind. He is a GREAT addition to our family!!!

Rescue dogs are the BEST! Wish everyone would consider them!!!

Marney - I'm not only a dog lover, but a cat lover, and a just plain ole critter lover.  I'm wishing you and Teddy many happy days together.

Marney, apparently Teddy had other ideas when he found out you were just going to foster him!  Congrats, he's a cutie.

Myrl -- thank you!

Terry -- I know, right? He totally knew we would be his forever family, didn't he! ;-)

Ian -- thank you! I too wish more people did so. The rescue even got some puppies this week so you CAN get a puppy if you want! :-)

You are all fantastic people. Thank you!
