About Theo

Theo is a loving, goofy, and social guy who enjoys being part of the action. He thrives on activity and loves exploring the outdoors. With his friendly disposition, he gets along well with other dogs and is gentle with children, making him a great match for an active family. Building trust with new people is important for Theo, especially regarding body handling.

Having lived with a cat before, Theo learned to respect feline boundaries and was both playful and submissive with his housemate. However, he might still try to chase a cat on occasion, so slow and respectful introductions are key for any future feline friends.
