Happy Tails: Cree + Teddy 🐾

Teddy may be a big boy, but he still thinks he’s a baby—and he loves playing baseball outside with Cree! Cree hits the ball off a tee, and Teddy is always ready to fetch it.

Cree and Teddy are part of our Happy Tails series, where we feature joyful stories from Down for Pets recipients and their rescue pets. This Down Syndrome Awareness Month, we’re celebrating the meaningful connections that make these stories so special.

We are happy to welcome Ashlie and her new pup Jack to the Down for Pets Family! Ashlie keeps herself busy and active with a variety of different sports and activities, and she found her new four legged walking buddy! Jack was rescued from a hoarding situation where 20 of the 35 dogs were later avialable for adoption. Community members were lined up at the door at Brandywine SPCA Animal Care Center to find new homes for all of the dogs rescued. Jack amongst many others were able to find a new life with amazing new families.

Here's to all of the adventures these two will go on! 🐾💙💛
