Tell us the story of how you got your pet!
My husband and I wanted a dog for some time but couldn’t find the right fit. Our cousin reached out to let us know they were looking to re-home their dog and sent us a picture of him, and we couldn’t resist! We went to their house to meet him and he immediately went to my husband for some back scratches. The rest is history! 

Is there anything unusual/unique about your pet?
Theo is a very sensitive boy. He had a tough start to life growing up on the streets of San Antonio, TX and made his way to the Chicagoland area through a rescue organization. He is slow to warm up to others but is the most gentle and sweet dog. Our kids love him so much and we are thankful for his kind spirit! 

What do you like best about your pet ownership?
We love having a buddy around 24/7. Theo isn’t a cuddler but wants to be near his humans at all times. He’s also teaching our 3 year old responsibility and she loves feeding her “Bubba”. 

Do you have any funny or heart warming stories about your pet you would like to share?
Theo's favorite toy is his little stuffed fox. He has had it for 6 years and is so gentle with it, there's not even a single hole! A true testament to his sweet demeanor. We love him so much!
