About Theodore

Meet Theodore, a delightful 7-month-old Chihuahua mix now looking for his forever home! Residing in a loving foster home in Houston, Texas, he’s ready to join you after completing the adoption process. Theodore, affectionately called Theo, has a playful spirit and a knack for zooming around. He loves racing with his dog friends and playing tug-of-war. This little charmer can be a bit shy at first but warms up quickly, showing off his truly affectionate personality once comfortable. He’s great with other dogs, enjoys the company of older children, and has even improved around cats. As an energetic puppy, he needs regular playtime but also settles down nicely once he has burned off some energy. Theo is still learning his manners and would thrive in a home that supports his continued training. He’s doing well with potty training, can hold it overnight, and is getting better at crate training too, though he prefers a playpen setting. Secure fencing and supervision are essential for his explorative nature. If you're looking for a loving, goofy companion who’s ready to learn and grow, Theo could be the perfect match for you. An active family with experience is ideal for helping him become the amazing adult dog he's destined to be. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and let's get started!
