Are you an active human with a strong throwing arm, a decent sense of humor, and the ability to establish household dominance without barking? Great — Theos is ready to take over your heart and your living room.

Theos is a high-octane, brainiac doodle who was clearly an overachiever in a past life (we suspect he ran a startup and practiced jiu-jitsu). He demolishes treat puzzles like a canine Einstein, and if fetch were an Olympic sport, he’d already have the gold.

But don’t be fooled by his zoomies — Theo is also a big ol’ softie. Once you’ve earned his loyalty (read: thrown the ball 37 times in a row), he’ll be your shadow, your sidekick, your emotional support doodle. Wherever you go, there he’ll be — lovingly staring into your soul… or the treat bag.

He’s crate-trained like a champ, enjoys his own space when it’s time to chill, and just needs a leader who isn’t afraid to lay down the (loving) law. In fact, his ideal forever human is someone who’s part dog-whisperer, part marathon runner, and part personal life coach.

Theos’s Forever Home Wishlist:

 • A fenced yard where he can run, frolic, and pretend he’s chasing intruders (probably squirrels)

. • An active family who treats “walk” as a lifestyle, not just a suggestion.

 • A confident, consistent leader who can guide him and teach him how to channel his brilliance into good decisions (and not, say, minor mischief).

 • A home that values cuddles as much as cardio.

If you’re looking for a dog who’s equal parts athlete, genius, and cuddlebug — Theos might just be your guy. But be warned: once he picks you, you’re stuck with a very loyal, very energetic, very lovable best friend for life.

Theos has worked extensively with our trainer before transitioning to a foster home.  He will come with the support of our training team in order to ensure a successful transition through a slow adoption process. 

Because of this, prospective adopters must be in the Austin metro area and willing to continue with his trainer during the adoption process.

Theos’s adoption fee is $600. He is HW negative, current on all vaccinations and HW/flea preventatives, spayed/neutered, and microchipped. All adoption fees go toward expenses like medical costs and food for Doodle Dandy dogs and help make it possible for us to continue giving amazing pups like Theos a second chance. If you would like to fill out an application and you are within the Austin area, please click on one of the Adoption Application buttons on this page and select THEOS from the drop-down menu on the application form.
