Biography
Theo is a timid but sweet little guy. He has some skin issues so would need a grain free diet with salmon oil or coconut oil supplements. We are still learning about him, but so far he has been very sweet. He does not enjoy the crate but is adapting quickly. After a stint in the shelter I think the crate seems a bit scary, but he'll soon learn it's a warm safe place. He is potty trained but likes to go outside to relieve himself several times a day or he will have an accident (although not in his crate). Theo likes the simple things in life- a warm bed and blankets to burrow under. He has suffered from hair loss due to poor care (his previous owner was unwell and passed away) but his beautiful long hair will grow back! Because he becomes so vocal when not around his humans, he probably would not do well in an apartment. I cannot emphasize enough how sweet this baby is and he needs so much TLC because of the neglect he has suffered for who knows how long. We love him here, and we know you'll love him too.
