Teddy
Teddy was found wandering alone in a Mexican village, a 10-year-old senior in pain with no one looking out for him. Today, he is receiving treatment for cancer and, most importantly, he is never alone. Teddy finally has people who notice him—and a place where he is deeply loved.
While waiting for Tail End to open, some of the dogs who inspired us found loving permanent homes of their own. We're so happy their stories took them there—and they'll always be part of the Tail End story.
