About Theo
Theo’s come a long way from his tough beginnings, thanks to patience and a lot of heart from his foster. Now, he bounces around for ball time and shows flashes of feline spirit, but only once trust is built. He’s about three years old, fully vetted, and likes a good cuddle when the mood is right—but on his terms. You’ll need a completely fenced yard for him, no exceptions, because leashes and leads just don’t work for him. Theo can’t live with kids or cats, as he tends to pester them, but he’d love another playful dog in the home. He needs a family experienced with anxious dogs who understand that earning his affection requires time, patience, and genuine kindness. Theo has dry eye and must be sedated at the vet, but his grooming is managed easily at home, so upkeep isn’t a burden. He’s a quirky, funny companion with a lot to give once he trusts you. If you have a fenced yard, experience, and love to spare, Theo could be your next loyal sidekick. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
