About Theodore

Theodore is an 8-month-old neutered male Chihuahua mix currently in Martinez, CA. He weighs about 22 pounds and sports a beautiful brown coat. This playful pup has a personality that shines through his big zoomies and affectionate nature. Theodore loves to play with his dog friends, engage in tug-of-war, and race around the yard. While Theodore can be a bit shy when meeting new people and dogs, he warms up quickly. He thrives in the company of other dogs and would benefit from a canine companion who can keep up with his energy. He has done well with kids above five and gets along with cats, given a carefully managed introduction. Potty training is a work in progress, and he’s made strides, holding it through the night. Crate training will also require patience, as he’s still finding his comfort level. However, his curious and adventurous spirit can lead to exciting antics, so secure fencing is a must. Theodore is looking for a dedicated adopter willing to continue his training and socialization. If you're ready to help a loving, adventurous puppy grow into the incredible companion he’s destined to be, he can’t wait to meet you! What are you waiting for? Apply today!
