Theo's Story

Theo is just a little guy looking for a friend<br/><br/>Theo is a 1 year old terrier mix and weighs 24 lbs. He is such a great little buddy with a happy-go-lucky personality and who always has a smile for you. Theo is affectionate and well-mannered, and dog friendly, but should go to an experienced home.<br/><br/>Sadly, before becoming Theo, he was known as Lightening 242652 when he was at risk for euthanasia in the overcrowded city shelter in December 2025. Thankfully, amazing fosters stepped up in time - and even more thankfully they renamed him. Since then he's been hanging out with his fellow foster dog siblings and learned how to be a dog again - Theo has been doing beautifully and is ready for a home of his own! <br/><br/>Theo is fully vetted, neutered, house trained, crate trained, and ready to find where he belongs. Could that be with you?<br/><br/>If you can open your heart & home to dear Theo, please contact AmsterDog by call/text at 917-689-8414 or by email at info@amsterdog.org. Apply to adopt Theo at AmsterDog.org/application.<br/><br/>Thanks for caring about a pet in need!
