Theo has one of those smooshy, lovable faces you just want to kiss. He’s eager for his own people and handles new situations with a friendly, polite attitude. Theo gets along beautifully with other dogs and is always open to new friends. With kids, he clicks right into play mode and matches their energy well. This goofy, affectionate guy is pure enthusiasm—curious about the world, overjoyed with walks, and always keeping a sharp eye on the toy bin. He loves long cuddle sessions and absolutely excels at couch-surfing next to his favorite humans (his taste in TV is impeccable, by the way). Car rides, snacks, sniffy adventures: Theo is in for all of it. At about nine months old and 40 lbs, Theo’s the right age for fun yet starting to settle. He’s neutered, vaccinated, house trained, and ready for a home in the Chicago area—foster-to-adopt is an option. Every animal like Theo deserves a family who matches their zest for life. They are ready to love you; are you ready to apply?
