About Teddy Bear

Affectionately known as TB, Teddy Bear is a sweet, curious lad who always approaches to say hello and is not at all shy, happily napping out in the open. He does not like being picked up but loves a cuddle and to have his long hair brushed, and is the second loudest wheeker at veg time. There is no food he will not eat. He takes his medication like a champ. Teddy Bear has ongoing health needs and will only be rehomed once fully well, to an experienced owner willing to take on his extra management.
