Teddy was found at the local meat market by one of Plush’s friends in May 2019. He was completely matted and couldn’t stop shaking. Back at the shelter, he began to recover from his neglectful past while simultaneously stealing the hearts of Stacey (who adopted Izzy the Irish setter) and her family who decided they also wanted to bring him to the UK.
After arriving in Beijing he was very fragile and extremely underweight. The vet nurse took him under her wing and he even had his own chair in the reception area and was given a whole new wardrobe after having all of his matted fur shaved off. He constantly wanted to be held and back then he had no idea what an amazing life was awaiting him in England. He started to gain weight and confidence and finally on October 16th he arrived at his new home in Clacton and his new sister Izzy (see case study 3) He now enjoys endless cuddles, walks, and treats and is loved and adored in every way a far cry away from a dirty meat market in China.
