About Leo

Meet Theo! This little 4-pound Yorkie puppy is a bundle of energy at just 9 months old. He’s playful and curious, always ready to engage with anyone, whether human or animal. Theo has not had much exposure to the outside world yet, so everything will be a new experience for him. He's crate and leash trained, though he might need some guidance on housebreaking. Theo is sweet-natured and good with pets and children. Ideally, an adopter with prior housebreaking or Yorkie experience would be a great match. He will need someone available to guide him through his new adventures. Theo is scheduled for neutering on October 13 and is available for foster or adoption. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
