Theodore
Description Theodore
Theodore's Compatibility:
Dogs – Has lived happily with dog friends, let's meet yours!
Cats – No kitties, please
Kids – Grown-up home (18 and up)

Theodore is a people person through and through. He rolls around on the floor or climbs right into a lap when he wants attention, and he will happily join a game with anyone willing to play. We love him dearly, and he makes it very easy!

He is a smart boy who listens well and already knows how to lie down and wait when he is asked. Theodore learns best with rewards and praise, so training with him feels more like a game than homework, and he would love an adopter who enjoys building on that foundation. Toys are a favorite too, especially a soft stuffed one or a ball.

Theodore shared his last home with other dogs and even welcomed two new puppies into the family, so a dog sibling could be a lovely fit after a meet and greet. He is happiest in a calm household where the days follow a steady routine, because knowing what comes next helps him relax and be his happy, silly self.

Theodore has his eye on an empty lap, and it may as well be yours. Say hello soon, before someone else offers him theirs!

Not Quite Ready To Adopt?

You can make an immeasurable impact by opening your home and your heart to an animal in need. Fostering is a great opportunity to introduce a pet into your home without making a lifelong commitment. Many of our foster humans end up adopting their fostered animals, but many also choose to just provide the temporary shelter and love our animals need to get through a trying time.
