**THEO FINDS HIS HAPPY.** ***2/4/2024 - Adoption Pending!***
Theo has had a rough life up until now. And he’s 5 years old! He was a very sad and unsure dog when he boarded the transport for Idaho a couple of weeks ago. We know he had at least two owners before coming into rescue and we get the feeling neither of them appreciated Theo for the good dog he is.
We believe Theo is an Australian cattle dog x border collie mix. He weighs about 35 pounds and is a beautiful, deep mahogany color. He has been thriving in foster care! He's done a complete 180 and now smiles and is showing us what a sweet, intelligent dog he is.
So far Theo appears to be housetrained and he is now crate trained. He rides well in the car and in his crate. Theo is mostly neutral with cats and is currently living with two. He’s been good with other dogs, but sometimes if things get too wild, he might become the Fun Police. We feel he would do great as an active companion or casual sport dog. He has the drive to potentially enjoy agility, rally, scentwork or trick training, but he’s not over the top or difficult to live with.
We get the feeling someone has manhandled Theo by the collar in the past creating some negative associations around handling. For this reason we are seeking a home for him with no small children. As long as we go slowly and communicate what we’re asking for he’s very cooperative!
Theo has good food drive and loves working and training for treats. He’s a very smart boy and as long as you make things into a bit of a game he’s very enthusiastic to play along. We would be happy to share his training videos with his adopter to show what he has been up to while in foster care.
Theo has had a dental and had to have a couple of teeth removed, but should be good to go now with his pearly white teeth. Theo’s adoption fee is $325. He’s neutered, microchipped and up to date on vaccinations.
