You may remember this face from his very popular euthanasia listing at the shelter…a video of sweet Theodore, a pile of wrinkles on the floor of his small kennel, and a small puppy happily climbing all over Theodore’s head. That video was all we needed to save him from death and we are SO thankful we did and we know his forever family will be as well.
Theodore is estimated to be 8-9 years old. He’s a big, deaf boy who loves napping, physical affection, snacks, and chasing balls. Most of his days are spent snoozing, tongue out! Since he is deaf, he’s pretty unbothered by most things and is the chillest guest! As is common for seniors, he sometimes has accidents but tries to notify his people when he needs to go outside.
Theodore really enjoys the company of other animals but it is important to note that, similar to most sensory-deprived animals, he misses some cues from others and is more sensitive in ways, and can find himself in misunderstandings every once in a while — supervision and mindfulness are all you need! He likes cats and is very gentle with them but he is allergic, so he would need to be on allergy medication if living in a home with cats. He would likely do well with all types of animals.
He is missing some teeth and others are worn down but he will hippo monch on any treat you give him — he will go anywhere for treats! This is the trick to getting him into the bathtub, the car, etc. He is crate trained and his kennel is truly his safe space. He will walk himself in there if you just motion and it’s important to him to have that space just for himself. He will definitely let you know when he’s ready to share your space!
He’s had a few mast cell tumors removed but theyve not metastisized— his daily Benadryl will help prevent these histamine activated growths but his people will just need to be conscious of new lumps. Theodore has so much life and love in him and he deserves the perfect soft spot to land. There honestly isn’t a way to express how much you will love Theodore — you’ve got to meet him!
Theodore is neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccinations, heartworm and tick borne disease negative!
