Manchester Terrier - Theo - Small - Young - Male - Dog in Adams, Indiana For Sale

Manchester Terrier - Theo - Small - Young - Male - Dog
March xxxx: Theo has now been in rescue for 5 years! He is so loving to adults once he gets to know them. He gets along with other dogs and cats too! Surely there is someone out there who can give this poor guy a loving forever home. Well here we are in August xxxx and Theo still has not found a forever home. He has been in rescue for 3 1/2 years!!!! I am so sad for Theo because this is not the life we had hoped for him when he was rescued. He deserves a forever home and I just know there is one out there but they just haven't seen him yet. I sure hope his forever family finds him soon. 9-20-10 There has to be a home out there for poor Theo. He has been in our rescue for 1 1/2 years. He is definitely not the dog for everyone. He does not go to adoption events because he is so noisy when he goes to an event with all the excitement going on he gets really wired. He has developed cage aggression too so if he is in his crate and a stranger approaches he acts all vicious and will snap at you if you stick your fingers in at him. He is a bit standoffish at first with strangers but once he gets to know you he so very loving. He is really smart and needs someone to challenge him mentally through obedience and tricks. He walks with a slight limp but it doesn't slow him down a bit. 2-16-09 Well we have bad news and good news on Theo. He went to our vet and had his leg x-rayed to see if the fracture had healed and it was healed but the problem is that whoever told the shelter that his leg had been set when casted - lied! His humerous (upper bones of leg) was shattered and would have required surgical pinning to fix it and they simply casted it to splint it. I am sure the vet who casted the leg told the person that it needed an expensive surgery so they dumped the dog off at a kill shelter and told the shelter staff that the leg had been fixed. JERKS! Anyway it is too late to properly fix the leg now but he is able to move the leg and use his paw (to knock things off of the coffee table or paw at your leg for attention) and he is even using it more everyday to walk on. Theo, being the resilient boy that he is, is learning to use his deformed leg just the way it is. We do exercises with him several times a day and he is building up muscle strength in that leg again. Our vet says he is younger than we originally though and estimates that he is only about 9 months old. He is now ready for a loving forever home. So if you are interested please contact us today! 2-5-09Theo was a stray that was found with a broken leg. His cast is due to come off in late February and he will be available to go to a forever home at that time. He is food aggressive with other dogs. I can remove his food without any problems but if another dog comes near his food he doesn't like it at all. He gets along with the other dogs as long as there is no food around.
