Picture it: an abandoned teddy bear sitting alone, wearing a blue duffel coat and red bucket hat with a sign around his neck saying “please take care of this bear.” Any reasonable person would pick that bear right up and take him home. And that’s exactly what FBRN did when they received a plea from an animal shelter for an abandoned three-year-old Frenchie named Paddington.

Handsome Paddington is settling into foster life and already stealing hearts with his very squishy face and equally sweet nature. He has a unique walk and will have a thorough veterinary exam before becoming available.

In the meantime, since Paddington arrived with nothing other than his huge wide smile, consider donating to his care by clicking on the “Donate” link. Who knows, he might even get a marmalade sandwich or two or at least some dog-friendly treats.
