Meet Theo Theo is a 2-year-old German Shepherd who came to us as a stray and was never reclaimed. He's a shy and sensitive boy who is slowly adjusting to shelter life and learning to trust the world around him. Theo was recently adopted but returned after two weeks because he became overprotective of his new owners whenever visitors or other family members came into the home. This behavior shows that Theo may need guidance and structure to feel secure in new social situations. Staff describe Theo as timid but curious, eager to leave his kennel and explore. He's good on a leash, shows friendly interest in other dogs, and is gentle and observant. While Theo can be nervous around new people, he will allow pets once he feels safe-a little gentle coaxing goes a long way with this sweet boy. Theo would thrive in a quiet, patient home with consistent guidance, where he can gradually build confidence and learn appropriate boundaries. With time, patience, and reassurance, he will show his affectionate, loyal, and devoted side. If you're looking for a companion who will reward your patience with love and loyalty, Theo could be the perfect addition to your family.
