Puppy given up on Christmas Day

An unwanted puppy was given to the animal shelter on Christmas day. The Dog Trust said that a couple in Scotland had bought the puppy as a gift for themselves but then decided they could not take care of the puppy themselves. The couple named the puppy Theo. Staff took Theo home with them, worried that the puppy would be scared. People buy dogs as a gift and then abandon the dogs in a short time. None of the Dog Trust rehoming center allowed anybody to buy dogs until 2nd January, to prevent from people abandoning dogs.
