13/2/20 – Teona has a home

Short and sweet Teona is in foster care in Norfolk through Safe Rescue.

They say of her, “… this snorting, snuffling, grumbling, grunting, groaning and belching warthog, sorry, dog, is about 9 years old and is either a Labrador cross with ridiculously short legs, or a staffy cross with completely the wrong head.”

She has had a rough life: many litters, a skin disease which made her nearly bald and a near fatal dog attack which has left her with a permanent hole in her neck.

However, her foster carer said, “She is one happy, waggy-tailed girlie who keeps me constantly amused with her (not always gentle) ways to get my attention, which she would love all to herself. She doesn’t much like the other 2 bitches in the house but is completely fine with my small male dog.

“She loves her walks and is great on lead though can be very strong if she sees a bird. I walk her on a harness due to the hole in her neck. Unfortunately, she hates visitors and would need to be kept separate. However, when she was brought to my house she instantly wanted to be my best friend and took no time at all to settle in.

“She is clean in the house and quiet at night. I have cats here and although she’s not overly interested in them, I wouldn’t trust her with them. I would dearly love to find someone who finds Teona as comical and adorable as I do.”

Teona is good in the car. She’s looking for a female owner, as she’s more trusting with women and she’d love to have a sunny garden!
