Here's what the humans have to say about me:
My dad found Theo as a stray several weeks ago and we were unable to locate his owners. When he was found, Theo was covered in dirty matted fur (so severely that the vet staff had to sedate him for grooming because they said it would be incredibly painful). He had intestinal worms and the matted fur had caused an infection in his eyes. Since his rescue, Theo has tested negative for heartworms (and started prevention!), has had all of his vaccines, has been neutered, and has been treated for both his hookworms and eye infection. He is an incredibly sweet boy who loves to go on walks and explore. He does really well on a leash and gets along great with dogs of all sizes. He needs a little guidance on where to potty but he picks up on the routine very quickly when he gets used to his new environment. He is also VERY food motivated. He would make a wonderful addition to a family that is looking for a low to medium energy dog. He is only about 26lbs and the vets think he is about 1-2yrs old
