Theon's Story

To apply or learn more, go to:<br/>https://www.heartsforpawsrescue.com/219873/2026/4/18/theon<br/><br/><br/>Meet handsome, playful Theon!<br/><br/>This 11-month-old pup is everything you want in a young dog — joyful, resilient, goofy, and endlessly ready for adventure. At just 39 pounds currently, he should mature to around 50 pounds: the perfect medium-sized companion for hikes, runs, beach days, or curling up after playtime.<br/><br/>Theon absolutely loves to play. If there’s a person or dog nearby willing to engage, he’s all in — and if no one is available, he’ll happily entertain himself with toys. He especially perks up around other dogs and has been gentle and respectful meeting all kinds of animals on our farm, including large horses, who he greeted with calm curiosity and zero reaction. While we can’t officially confirm cat compatibility, Theon has generally shown himself to be very neutral and appropriate during new animal introductions.<br/><br/>His story is heartbreaking. Theon was found in Los Angeles with a rope fully embedded into his neck, requiring emergency removal by shelter veterinarians. It appears this sweet puppy spent much of his young life tied outside and neglected. We truly believe he survived by chewing through the rope himself to go seek help before it killed him.<br/><br/>And yet — despite everything — Theon remains incredibly kindhearted, trusting, and full of life. He is innocent in the purest sense of the word. Friendly with people, eager to connect, and so willing to learn.<br/><br/>Theon is highly food motivated, making him a wonderful candidate for continued training. He walks well on leash, enjoys exploring, loves water, and will happily chase a ball. He was initially unsure about the car, but once inside settled quickly and realized it meant adventure. We could easily see him becoming someone’s trail buddy or running companion.<br/><br/>Mostly, Theon deserves what he has never truly had before: a family that sees him, values him, and keeps him safe forever.<br/><br/>Adoption Donation $350 includes neuter, vaccinations, and microchip<br/><br/>Currently fostered in Sacramento, CA. <br/><br/>Interested in adopting?<br/>1. Please complete our online form at heartsforpawsrescue.com/adoption-application<br/>2. We will respond in 1-3 days for a call!<br/>3. If it sounds like a potential match for you and the dog of interest, we will promptly set up a meet and greet at the foster home<br/><br/>Please note we are a foster-based rescue meaning our dogs are in individual foster homes throughout sac and the bay. For this reason we may only be able to schedule meets for one dog at a time (or litter). The average timeline between app submission and a meet and greet is 3-5 days. Please only submit an application for a specific dog if you are ready to adopt that animal within a week's time.<br/><br/>Follow facebook.com/heartsforpawsrescue &<br/>Instagram @heartsforpawsrescue for more!<br/><br/>Email coordinators@heartsforpawsrescue.com or info@heartsforpawsrescue.com

Hearts for Paws Rescue's Adoption Policy
Our 3-step Adoption Process: 1. Complete adoption application at www,heartsforpawsrescue.com/adoption-application 2. If it sounds like a match for you, and for the dog, we will promptly schedule a zoom interview with an adoption counselor + virtual home tour 3. If both parties are comfortable proceeding after the interview, we will set up an in-person meet and greet to meet w/ the adoptable dog & all household members (heartsforpawsrescue.com/meet-greet-info) **Some meet and greets may end in an adoption that same day, or we may schedule a follow-up. HFP reserves the right to a post-adoption home check. Other: We do not require all adopters to enroll with trainers, but we do highly encourage this to get started on the right path with your new BFF. In some cases, HFP may require enrollment in training on a case-by-case basis for first-time adopters or specific dogs with special behavioral needs.
