Meet Theo!
2 years old 40 lbs Neutered Male Schnauzer Mix

About Theo:
2 years old
40 lbs
Neutered male Schnauzer mix
Up to date on vaccines
Heartworm negative
House and crate trained
Friendly with people and other dogs
High energy and playful
Best with older kids
Would love a dog sibling

Theo is a joyful, affectionate guy, but he does have some enthusiasm to spare. He tends to jump up when greeting new people, so he'd do best with older, considerate children who won't be knocked over by his excitement. He would also benefit from working with a trainer to polish his manners and help him become the very best version of himself.

Because of his energy level, Theo requires a securely fenced yard and an active family committed to providing him with plenty of exercise, playtime, and adventures. A bored Theo is a creative Theo, and this smart boy will flourish with structure and activity.

With his goofy personality, loving heart, and eagerness to please, Theo is ready to be someone's loyal sidekick. Give him a ball, a backyard, and a best friend to romp with, and he'll reward you with a lifetime of laughter and unconditional love.

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.

The schnauzer is a versatile and intelligent dog breed known for its distinctive beard and eyebrows. They come in three sizes - miniature, standard, and giant - each with their own unique personalities and characteristics. Schnauzers are loyal, playful, and make excellent family pets. They require regular grooming to maintain their wiry coat and love to be included in activities with their human companions. With proper training and socialization, schnauzers can thrive in various roles, from loving companion to skilled working dog.

The mission of Take Paws Rescue is to meet the moral obligation to protect and save the lives of pets...
