Read about our adoption process on our website. Theo is an absolute miracle and medical marvel. As a baby, Theo, his littermates, mom and a male dog were left out in a front yard and abandoned when the family moved. Local rescue folks split the same up into different homes until they could be transported to a rescue in San Antonio. At this time Theo and his mom lived outside in a crate. His mom was able to break open the crate and both escaped. His mom was found but Theo was no where to be seen. His mom and the the litter mates where then transferred to San Antonio. Lo and behold, days later Theo was found and unfortunately was ill. He was immediately transferred to the rescue in San Antonio and was found to have parvo - known as the puppy killing disease. Fortunately he survived the parvo but seemed to have been exposed to distemper during his time at the vet. A month later poor Theo was diagnosed with Distemper, another deadly disease. Through intensive care he recovered and is now thriving! This boy is a true survivor and has an incredibly loving spirit. He is a cuddler and loves to be with his people. He is very well natured and is an easy pup to share your home with. He would do great in a home with kids and another dog to play with. He has been patiently waiting for a family - he is truly a miracle and deserves nothing but the best!

Theo has staining on his teeth as a result of the distemper - it may be enamel hypoplasia, and will be assessed again before coming to Canada.
