Theodore is Your Rancho Coastal Humane Society Pet This Week

He was a stray.

(RCHS - Mark Viguri)

Theodore is pet of the week at your Rancho Coastal Humane Society. He’s a 1-1/2-year-old, 68-pound, male, Labrador Retriever / Pit Bull mix.

Theodore was a stray when he was picked up and taken to an animal shelter in Riverside County. After two weeks, he was transferred to Rancho Coastal Humane Society through the Friends of County Animal Shelters (FOCAS) program.

He’s friendly, but shy when he meets new people.
