• “Wild man! Full of energy 24/7. Recently discovered a love for a quick swim. A full time “foodie” if you will. Absolutely loves every single human everrrr!“

  — Amanda P.

• “Boof boof! My name is Theo and I am a super sweet, fun, and loyal ACD/GSD/border collie mix. My mom and dad rescued me about a year ago now and before I had lived a pretty scary life. I now spend my days on walks, getting cuddles, good treats, and so much love. I am pretty hesitant when it comes to new men, especially around my house, and just have some fear in general. I really don't like it when new people come near my face, but cuddles from my mom, dad, grandparents, and aunt and uncle are the BEST! I can't wait to play and have lots of room to run around!“

  — Catherine K.

• “I have two dads - one needs me to protect him more than the other one. I'm pretty mellow, but don't cross me.“

  — Darren G.

• “My name is Theo! I am a micro golden doodle, and I’m 2 years old. I am very sweet, but can be nervous at times. I love people so much but I do sometimes get nervous and a little bit barky around other dogs. I’d never hurt anyone, just kind of a scared baby boy! I do love my new big sister though!“

  — Rachael O.

• “Hi, I'm Theo, I am an almost 2 year old golden retriever. I love playing with balls and disc's. I love running super fast and going on long walks.“

  — Elsie R.

• “I’m a 3.5 year old golden retriever that loves the water and loves swimming (shocking right?!) I don’t have a pool of my own (yet!) Thank you for letting me use yours!!!!“

  — Amanda W.

• “Theo is a rescued Australian Cattle Dog mix who suffers from reactivity and stranger danger. He’s the biggest cuddle bug at home, but is still gaining confidence in the world.“

  — Kathryn W.

• “I’m a little shy, afraid of lot of things. I get really scared when I see other dogs on leashes and I don’t know how to react to them. I’m not very good at making new friends, but I have my brother that I play with all the time.“

  — Julie M.

• “A big sweet boy that thinks he’s a little lap dog. Very aware of his surroundings and will play but likes to be near his people.“

  — Conor H.

• “Theo is a sweet, scared, and sassy guy. Although he is fearful of new people and experiences, he's strongly attached to Mabel and his people and is the cuddliest, sweetest boy.“

  — Danielle H.

• “Theo is our tiny tornado. He loves to play and run, he may bark, but it’s all love. Once he gets to know you he will stick by your side.“

  — Amanda C.

• “Super friendly and loves to chase. Little timid at first but once comfortable can go all day. Never aggressive in his life“

  — Grey M.

• “I'm a quirky fun loving black lab who loves my humans and wants to always be with them...and on them“

  — Kathryn L.

• “Theo is my best friend who i rescued in 2021. Theo has lots of trauma, and separation anxiety. He is a cuddle bug who loves to be held and is very protective. Theo is a spunk of energy and has lots of love in his heart. he loves snacks, lamb chops, car rides, ect. Theo does take trazadone (sedation) for public activities due to him getting over excited/stimulated. He is a good boy, who listens well to commands.“

  — haley w.
