Have we seen Theodore before? As one of the several versions of Pete the Pup on the Our Gang series? Nah, he’s way too young, but if they did another revival, Theodore would have saved the studio some money—that circle around his eye is natural and not enhanced with a makeup brush! Besides, Theodore has his own star quality. Volunteers find him easy to walk—he comes out of the kennel “like a gentleman,” as volunteer Gusti said, and follows the walker’s guidance well. Theodore takes treats gently and also loves a good chill-out. Volunteer Stefanie often sees him lounging on his back in his kennel or playing with his empty food bowls “like a giant puppy.” In a forever home, Theodore is certain to steal every scene, just like Pete the Pup did! Adopt or foster Theodore by emailing PetAdopt@longbeach.gov or petfoster@longbeach.gov. You can also call (562) 570-4925.
