About Theodore

Meet Theodore, a spirited 7-month-old Chihuahua mix who’s currently in a loving foster home in Houston, Texas. Weighing about 22 pounds, he's playful and full of life, always ready for a game of tug-of-war or a good run around the yard with his dog friends. Theodore, affectionately called Theo, was rescued from a situation involving over 80 dogs, and he's ready to find a forever home where he can thrive. He’s still a puppy, full of energy and just a bit goofy. While he can be shy when meeting new people and animals, he quickly warms up once comfortable. Theo has been great around children over five, and he's very dog-friendly, preferably with another playful companion who understands his exuberance. He enjoys exploring, so a secure yard would be ideal. Though Theo is working on his leash walking and crate training, he’s eager to learn, especially with patient guidance. He may have some mild resource-guarding behavior around food with other pets, so separate feeding times are recommended. Overall, he's affectionate and ready to love his humans deeply. If you’re committed to helping him grow into the dog he’s meant to be, he’ll repay you with a lifetime of joy. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and let’s get started.
