About Theo

Theo came to us as a stray in mid-September. This timid boy requires a patient adopter who can help him come out of his shell. Theo seems to get along well with other dogs, which might give him the confidence he needs. He is neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped, making him ready for his forever home. A meet and greet will be required before adoption to ensure a good match. Theo's sun sign is Virgo, which may explain his quiet disposition and thoughtful nature. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
