Meet the delightful Theo, a charming 9-year-old Shih Tzu mix weighing in at just 13 pounds! 🐶❤️ This little lap log is on a mission to find a forever family that values cozy cuddles and warm companionship. Imagine snuggling with him at night as he whispers sweet nothings in your ear—wait, did someone say ‘snuggle alert’? 💤✨ Theo is a gentle soul, seeking love and understanding as he gracefully steps into his retirement years. Picture him lounging on your lap while you binge-watch your favorite shows. His love tank is full, but he’s looking for a family that will shower him with love and patience! While Theo is very close to being potty-trained when kept on a routine, he might have the occasional accident. Every superstar needs some training time, right? A family who is patient will be a perfect fit! He’s not a fan of being crated—Oh no, that’d just be a big ol' mistake! 🚫🐕 Instead, he thrives when given the freedom to roam around and keep a watchful eye on his surroundings. He’ll even give you a friendly bark when guests arrive—his own little welcome committee! 🎉 Let’s talk about his adorable fur! He does require regular grooming to keep his handsome looks intact—because what charming older gentleman wouldn’t enjoy a spa day? 💇‍♂️ Theo does have luxating patellas in both knees. While the vet doesn’t recommend surgery just yet, it’ll be important to keep an eye on them and help him stay spry with glucosamine supplements. Because hey, every prince needs his royal care! 🤴🥬 Now, if there's a special place in your heart and home for this snuggly little guy, you can apply to adopt Theo directly through the Buddy App! 💖 Just remember, he thrives in a peaceful setting with no shared walls, meaning he needs a loving home that won’t scare him into a barking frenzy!
