Theo - Poodle and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Brainerd, Minnesota

Meet Theo! This 3-year-old, 55-pound poodle mix is a total cuddle bug with a heart as big as his fluffy coat. He's house-trained, friendly with every human he meets, and loves making new friends.
Personality & Household Fit
Dog Friendly: Theo is super playful with other dogs and would love a canine buddy with similar energy.
Cat Status: Currently working on his feline manners! He is not safe around cats right now, so he needs a cat-free home.
House Skills: Fully house-trained and ready to blend right into a home routine.
Heartworm Treatment & Care
Theo tested positive for heartworm, but don't let that scare you off-dogs go on to live long, healthy, full lives after treatment!
Treatment Included: The rescue covers the cost of his entire heartworm treatment at their partner clinic.
Appointment Location: His adopter will need to take him to his vet appointments in Superior, WI.
Post-Treatment Rest: He will require a mandatory period of low activity and strict rest post-treatment to recover fully before he can resume regular play.
Theo is ready to find a loving family to support him through his recovery and shower him with affection for years to come!

Theo's adoption fee is $400 plus MN tax which covers his neuter, vaccinations, microchip and any additional medical care he may have needed while in the rescue's care.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
