A 47lb, 9 months old, Shepherd mix. He arrived at the shelter as a stray after being found crated with his brother Simon and dumped in a ditch. It took a lot of teamwork and determination to pull them out and get them to safety.
Theodore has a big personality and loves treats. He does great on a leash, making him a great candidate for strolls outside. He can be a bit dog-selective, so slow introductions are best for him. While toys aren’t really his thing (he’s not one to share or play much with them), snacks and quality time with his people are the way to his heart.
Theodore would thrive in a home that appreciates his zest for life, respects his preferences, and is ready to be his favorite walking buddy.
