Theodore
Dogs: Has lived with dog friends
Cats: TBD
Kids: Older teens would be a great fit
Theodore is a 2-year-old Lab/Terrier mix with a bright, busy brain and a heart full of good-boy potential. He has lived happily with other dogs, adores his people, and already knows some handy skills, including how to wait politely for his food. Give him a plan and a kind person to help him follow it, and this boy truly shines!
Theodore loves learning the reward-based way, which simply means lots of treats and praise for the right choices instead of any harsh corrections. He feels happiest and most confident when he knows what to expect, so a steady daily routine is one of his favorite things. Because that steadiness means so much to him, a calm home with older teens (16 and up) is his sweet spot, where everyone can keep the same easy rhythm going together. He has been learning right alongside our team, and he shows us more of his sweet, goofy self every single day.
Theodore is smart, affectionate, and ready for a family who sees the gem he already is and wants to help him become his very best self. Come meet him at HSHC!

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.
