An abandoned and 'unwanted' Yorkshire Terrier who was left with a vet to be put to sleep because he was no longer wanted by his family has been rescued and is due to be offered for adoption into a loving new home.
The Yorkie called Theo is four years old and currently living in foster care. Now an animal rehoming organisation is assessing his personality and needs so he can be matched with a forever home just in time for Christmas.
A spokesman at Friends of Rescue, based in Londonderry, Northern Ireland, told Belfast Live : "This poor little guy was left at a vets to be euthanised due to being unwanted. He is a busy little man but if he gets two good walks and play time, he can settle for periods. He's also very good at night time.
