My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

 



DESCRIPTION:

Theo has moved around quite a bit in his short life. This handsome little dude was initially picked up as a stray and brought to an animal shelter. Although he waited patiently for his family to arrive, no one stepped forward to claim him. Having clearly been socialized prior to his arrival, shelter staff believed that this little honey would easily find his way home. However, with shelter numbers significantly over capacity, Theo was running out of time and was placed on the list to be euthanized for space. Recognizing that Theo may not make it out alive, another group pulled him hoping to help him find his way home. Although this saved Theo's life, the group that pulled him had over-committed to too many animals and found themselves in a hoarding situation. Sometimes our desire to help is so great that we forget the amount of time and resources needed to adequately care for each life we are responsible for. This situation was not planned nor was it something that the other group intended to do. However, when this situation was discovered the dogs were confiscated. At risk of being placed right back at the shelter, another group stepped in to help redirect Theo into MAGSR's care. 

Theo is a very friendly guy. He adores people and wants to be friends with absolutely everyone. Having lived on a property with a large pack of dogs, Theo has done well with other dogs but still enjoys proper introductions. An active guy, Theo is looking for a family that will take him with them on his adventures. He will benefit from daily exercise of both his body and his mind. This will help Theo maintain a stable personality. As is true of all shepherds, Theo will thrive with routine, structure, and leadership. Training is essential to his success. Not only will training help Theo build a strong, healthy relationship with his forever family, it will also help him develop the skills needed to become a good canine citizen. Theo is looking for a loving household that will commit to him for a lifetime. Could that be with you?
