About Theo

Theo had a rough start, arriving after being found tied to a tree without food, water, or shelter. His leash was tangled to the point he could barely move, but he never lost his gentle nature. At just over a year old, Theo has a playful spirit—he lights up for treats and toys, and clearly loves being part of the action. He’s a big, sweet dog who’s convinced he’s small enough to be a lap dog, so he tends to drape himself over anyone willing to give him a cuddle. While he’s a bit shy when meeting new people, patience and a snack or two quickly win him over. He doesn’t have a mean bone in his body. Theo does best with older kids, simply due to his size and strength, though families with younger, dog-savvy kids can always arrange a meet-and-greet. He hasn’t officially been cat tested, but his interest in cats suggests a home without them would be the best fit. Theo usually enjoys the company of friendly female dogs. He’s ready to bring his mix of goofiness and loyal affection to a family who’ll give him the home he’s been hoping for. Theo is a Taurus, which means he’s particularly loyal and loving.
