Theo is a happy-go-lucky pup who loves people and playtime! He's working on some important skills like bathroom habits and managing his separation anxiety. Theo also struggles with resource guarding (food, water, toys) and will need an experienced adopter to help guide him. He'd do best in a home with older kids and structure to help him grow into the amazing dog he's meant to be.
