Name: Theo

Age: 1 year old

Breed: Beagle mix (with a mystery small breed twist)

Background: Theo came from a hoarding situation and is still learning what it means to feel safe, loved, and free.

 

Personality: A beautiful mix of conflicted emotions—Theo wants love but doesn’t always know how to accept it. He may run from your touch but will still long for your presence. He’s a work in progress with a big heart in a small frame.

 

Needs:

 

• A calm, patient home that understands decompression takes time.
• Another confident, friendly dog (or more!)—he thrives with canine companionship.
• Space to retreat, observe, and come forward on his terms.
• A gentle, steady person who won’t take his fear personally.

 

 

Quirks: Theo may act like he is scared of you, then follow you around with quiet longing. He loves cats and dogs and needs them as emotional anchors. He’s soft, sweet, and sensitive—but guarded.

 

Ideal Home: One with other animals, no pressure, and lots of time. Theo has love to give, but it’s layered beneath fear. He’s not broken—just healing.

 

Fun Fact: He’s a master at the slow blink of trust—when it happens, it’s pure gold.

You MUST have patience with Mr. Theo. There’s great guy behind those amazing ears and hopeful eyes. MUST have another dog. Must have a completed and approved app. HHPR.rescuegroups.org
