About Theo

Meet Theo, a tiny treasure at just 6 pounds. This sweet senior, around 10 years old, embodies comfort and coziness. He finds joy in simple pleasures—a lovely warm spot for napping, a quiet environment, and a faithful companion to snuggle with. Though he's not one for playing much, he gets along well with other dogs, making him a perfect candidate for a home where he can be the only cherished pet. Recently neutered, he's diligently working on his housebreaking skills and is settling into a regular routine with his foster mom. It's worth noting that Theo has a little terrier voice, so he may not thrive in an apartment setting. All he seeks is a loving person to call his own, a warm place to enjoy his golden years, and a few snuggles every day. This charming little gentleman will be available for adoption on December 2. Who wouldn’t want Theo as a best friend? Click apply to start the adoption process.
