About Theodore

Theodore is a spirited and affectionate 7-month-old Chihuahua mix, currently located in Texas. Weighing in at about 22 pounds, this playful pup has a personality that matches his size—big! Rescued as part of a large group, Theodore, who was originally named Jackson, has blossomed in his foster home. He thrives on playtime and enjoys zooming around with his dog buddies. This energetic little guy has already shown impressive signs of settling down after his bursts of enthusiasm. Theo can be a bit shy around new dogs and people, but he warms up quickly. An experienced home with a confident canine companion would suit him well, as he bonds easily and needs a playful partner. He has done well with older children and has adapted well to other pets, including cats, although a proper acclimation period is essential. Training is still on the agenda for Theodore. He’s making great strides with potty training and holds it through the night. His crate training requires patience, and he responds best to gentle guidance. A secure environment will keep him safe as he explores. While he's still learning leash manners, he’s driven by curiosity rather than anxiety. Theodore has some mild resource-guarding tendencies, so feeding him separately from other pets is ideal. This little adventurer is full of joy and potential. His ideal home will be active yet understanding, providing him with plenty of play, training, and love. He is ready to find a family willing to help him grow into the fantastic adult dog he is destined to be. Your new best friend is just one click away.
