About Theo

Theo is a healthy, large adult mix with a short coat who’s thriving in his Miami County foster home and ready for a fresh start. He’s about 68 lbs with a gentle, happy-go-lucky energy—the definition of easygoing. Pulled from a crowded shelter after his owner couldn’t care for him or his two female dog friends, Theo has proven himself a great companion. He’s house trained, crate trained, and walks politely on a leash. You’ll rarely hear him bark, making him a quiet presence around the house. Theo gets along well with cats and dogs, and genuinely seems to appreciate good company. Because of his size and temperament, a fenced yard is recommended, and he would do best in a home with children over 12. Healthwise, Theo’s neutered, up to date on vaccines, and heartworm negative. He’s truly looking for a place—and a person—where he’ll belong. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
