Theo

Have to make the most difficult decision to rehome Theo our 8 month old Pomeranian. He’s very sweet and has so much potential but due to giving birth to our first baby next month we don’t have the time or capacity to give him the training he needs. He struggles with some anxiety but is very playful and loving.
