Theo

Theo is a 1-year old Pit Bull mix. He was a stray that no one came to claim. Theo absolutely adores children and would love to have a family with some kids to play with. He still acts like a puppy and loves to play. Theo gets along great with other dogs and would make a great addition to any family.

Every Saturday morning during the harvest season members of the County Hallow Ward and the East Layton Stake of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints bring food from their gardens and orchards and share with neighbors or anyone in need through a program known as Share the Harvest.
