Teagan / 12 years old / Female


Image Teagan is a very gentle senior lady who arrived at GRR after her previous owner became too unwell to be able to look after her and had to move to a permanent care facility. It seems that Teagan’s days had been spent in the home, close to her person, and walks were not something on Teagan’s regular “to do” list.
She has been making the most of life in foster care and has enjoyed the enrichment of scrutinizing her surroundings – including investigating the possibility of exploring the wider world on her own if the gate is left ajar or if there is an escape hole in the fence. Her wanderlust - and ability as a bit of an escape artist- will need to be understood by her new family. Secure fencing is a must.
Teagan enjoys gentle walks on lead and encountering new canine friends. She has been diagnosed with a degenerative nerve condition associated with her age and her back legs are a little uncoordinated because of that. She also has a hoarse bark. Vets are unable to advise how quickly this condition may progress but tell us that this 12 year old’s blood results are “nothing to worry about”.
Teagan has undergone treatment of a deep-seated ear infection. That has improved while in care but may need some continued treatment until it is resolved.
Twelve year old Teagan is described as being confident, cheeky and friendly. She loves being close and is quite the social butterfly when meeting new people. Teagan is interested in, but not bothered by, cats. She is great in the car but will need assistance to get in and out of the vehicle. Fireworks and storms do not bother her at all. And her hearing is intact as she has a good recall when off lead.
Image Teagan comes microchipped, desexed, vaccinated, heartworm tested and treated for heart worm, intestinal worms and fleas.

Teagan requires a home where:
- she has a family who understands the demands of owning senior pets and that Teagan will require not just love but on-going vet attention to monitor her medical issues;
- she has a secure yard that she can easily access for overnight toileting;
- she can live a quieter life with gentle exercise and lots of human interaction;
- there is secure fencing;
- her grooming is given regular attention to ensure that loose hair is removed and her feet do not get too fluffy or her nails overgrown;

If you think that you are able to offer this beautiful senior girl the perfect place to see out her days in your home please complete GRR’s Adoption Questionnaire. To assist GRR in finding the perfect fit for her, the GRR Committee will only consider emailed applications that include a completed GRR adoption questionnaire that meets ALL of the requirements listed on Teagan’s poster.

The GRR Team look forward to hearing from you.
