Going Home: Theo

This past August, the end of summer marked a special new beginning for a handsome pup, Raj Mathai, and his new family.

Adam and Emma adopted Raj at this year’s Bark & Meow Around the Block. If you’re thinking, “I recognize that name!” you’re right. We initially named Raj after NBC anchor, Raj Mathai because Berkeley Humane worked in collaboration with NBC’s Clear the Shelters, a nation-wide pet adoption drive. Raj has a new name to go with his new family: he now goes by Theo.

This is what adopters Adam and Emma had to say about Theo on Facebook:

“Adam and I want to say thanks to everyone at Berkeley Humane. We got this pup on Saturday, barely over 48 hours ago, but almost can’t remember life before him.”

But it was Theo who had the last word (not sure how he figured out how to use Facebook, but he's a smart boy...). Check out what he had to say about Adam and Emma: 

The World According to Theo A.K.A. Raj Mathai

“Dear Berkeley Humane, I am really happy with Adam and Emma! We go to the beach and dog park, so I have many dog friends. Adam takes me to work all day, so I have many people friends too. Thank you for taking such good care of me. I wouldn’t be here without you. Love, Theo (A.K.A. Raj Mathai)”.

Oh, Theo (and Adam and Emma), we are really happy too! Thank you for sharing the update and the adorable beach picture. Do keep us posted.

Got love? We do! Come visit us at Berkeley Humane. We’re open Friday through Sunday from 11am to 5pm. Our website has great information on the adoption process and our available cats and dogs.
