Theo needs a home!









Meet Theo...I rescued Theo from Orange County Animal Services when he was literally being walked to the euthanasia room. Unfortunately Theo had a raging case of Demodex Mange and even though he was barely three month's old, no one wanted him. Luckily he was added to the list of several other dogs that were about to loose their life that day. You see there are many volunteers all over the USA that go into high kill shelters and take photographs of animals that are on death row. They then post their photos and stories all over social media sites and of course e-mail lists. The hope is for rescue groups to pull these animals from the various shelters and get them to safety. Through fostering programs and other rescues that have physical shelters many animals can be saved. I received Theo's XXX URGENT e-mail just in time. I took one look at that face and knew I had to save him. Poor Theo didn't have much hair, he was mostly bald with open sores, especially on his face and neck. I got him home and gave him a nice soothing bath. Theo was so sweet, I wanted to just make it all better. Within 2 weeks his coat started coming back, and he was feeling much better. Theo has been with me for 3 month's and he is now 6 month's old; Theo needs to find his new family. He is fully vetted, gets along with other animals, loves to go to the dog park, and snuggle with me. Theo is a bit shy, but once he gets to know you he will be your best friend forever.
