He’s incredibly smart, affectionate, and people-loving. Theo learned to give paw in just a few tries and now proudly sits and offers it for meals. He’s very food and affection motivated, making him both easy to bond with and rewarding to train. He has a calm, gentle nature with playful moments — he enjoys toys, is starting to play fetch, and is the cutest sock thief you’ll ever meet (he gently carries them to his bed). He loves pets and will happily encourage you to keep them coming — sometimes even “smiling” when they’re extra good. Theo forms a deep bond with his person while still loving everyone he meets. He’s happiest near you, whether getting attention or just quietly laying by your side. He loves car rides, is potty trained, crate trained, takes medication easily, and has been excellent during his recovery — even respecting his bandages without needing a cone. He rarely barks and does get excited to greet you when you come home. He is currently healing and may have some continued recovery needs, but he’s handled everything with patience and resilience. At his core, Theodore is a loyal, gentle dog who just wants to love and be loved — and he will form a truly special bond with his forever person.
