About Theo

Theo deserves a second chance. At just three years old, this affectionate Golden Retriever mix should be living life to its fullest, playing with tennis balls and snuggling up with someone who truly loves him. Sadly, he was found wandering the streets, underweight and dealing with the lingering effects of an old car accident. Now safe and receiving the care he needs, Theo is making progress, although he faces challenges due to incontinence from his past injuries. He requires a patient and understanding adopter who knows that every dog has their story, and that this does not lessen their worth. Theo is ready to find a forever home—or even a foster family—who can give him the kindness he deserves. He's dog-friendly and good with kids, making him a wonderful companion. Those special-needs dogs often have so much love to give. Let’s help Theo finally feel safe and cherished! Click apply to start the adoption process.
