"THEODORE" *Foster home** HANDSOME **TRI-POD** ROTTIE Mix "OHS - SALEM"

 

I'M IN A Foster Home. I'm also part of the *Diamond in the Rough Program*  where you can do a trial adoption, or continue with me as a foster dog  Come ask about me!  ~THEODORE

 "THEODORE" AVAILABLE FOR Adoption at Oregon Humane Society  in SALEM

 THEODORE #310739 Looks like: Rottweiller mix neutered male 3 yrs 2 mths 80 lbs available 4/29/26  $50

*Foster home

Hey friend! My name is Theodore and I am super cuddly and sweet!

One thing you should know about me right off the bat is that I am, what my friends like to call, a Tri-Pod. That is their silly way of saying I only have 3 legs. It does not slow me down one bit, and I am still down to go on adventures with you!

I am one smart cookie and know lots of things! I know basic cues such as sit, down, paw (at least I'll TRY to give you my paw HAHA) stay and leave it. I love treats and positive reinforcement. You can use those things to teach me new things and become my best friend of course! I am high energy though and I can become easily frustrated if my energy and exercise needs are not met. I will need positive outlets and a calm environment to help me flourish.


I have such a silly and outgoing personality. I love to cuddle and lay with my friends. I think I am a lap dog even though I am way too big for that now. I love playing with toys and can show you my favorite ones when we meet! (Hint: The ones that squeak sure get my attention!) I have a history of resource guarding my people, food, toys and/or bedding from other animals or people.

I lived with another dog in my last home and have had lots of fun playing with larger dogs here at OHS. I am a big guy and have a rough and rowdy play style so I need to meet any canine companions prior to getting adopted. I also need a home without small dogs, cats or other small animals.

Sometimes I don't know my own size and can bump into things, so I need to go to a home without small children. Older dog-savvy kids are okay though!

Have I convinced you yet? If I have, I am part of the Diamond in the Ruff program, which you can learn more about here. I hope to see you soon!
