Theo is just over a year old and brings a lot of Labrador Retriever charm in a downsized, manageable body. He’s a unique mix—57% Lab, the rest cattle dog, with a glossy black coat and a low-maintenance short length. At about 38 lbs, he’s solid but still small for a Lab-type, and while he might appreciate a touch of portion control, he moves easily through life. Trust is important for Theo—he warms up slowly, needing a few days to let his guard down. Once he does, expect an avalanche of kisses. His energy leans toward youthful but not wild: he loves toys, treats, walks, hikes, and camping trips. He’s house trained, sleeps through the night, and handles alone time well (as long as you hide the pillows). Theo gets along with other dogs but needs proper, slow introductions and would benefit from having a well-mannered older dog in the home. He’s more comfortable around calm, older children, and doesn’t enjoy the unpredictability of toddlers. Count on him for loyalty, affection, and plenty of company, with just the right amount of mischief. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
