About this Dog
Love the lab personality with a golden look? Theo has it all!Personality | Theo is a sweet and loving golden retriever/lab mix that loves to play. He'd be a great companion to someone who enjoys exploring the outdoors. He would make a great running buddy! Theo loves to be petted and will give very gently kisses when allowed. He is such a lover! He has a strong spirit and goofy personality that will serve him well with additional training. After playtime, Theo loves to cuddle up with you!Story | Found roaming the streets of Texas. Taken to local shelter by animal control. Other Dogs | Theo really likes other dogs. He's always encouraging his foster brother to play with him! He takes corrections from other dogs well when it's time to settle down. His foster brother really seems to enjoy his energy and loves zooming around the back yard in a game of chase or a tug of war session. Cats | No cats in foster house. He seems like he would be good, but he does chase squirrels in the back yard. Children | Fosters feel like he would love children! He's such a sweet dog. We imagine he will thrive in a family environment. Given his size and playful energy, we encourage supervision with little kiddos to make sure Theo doesn't knock them over Training | Theo is a blank slate with lots of potential for training! He will come most of the time, and is working on sitting like a good boy. Like most Labs, Theo will occassionally pick up and chew something that isn't his. Best to keep your shoes and belongings put away until he learns! Theo is doing great with potty training. He knows to go outside to do his business. He's only had a few accidents since arriving. He has only been in the crate once and did great He laid down and did not cry or whine when alone in the crate. Even when fosters arrived home, he sat nicely waiting to be let out. He has free access to roam at night, but is being let out once in the middle of the night just to prevent problems. Leash | Theo is pretty good on leash and can pull a bit, but takes correction quite well. For a dog with little training he seems quite comfortable on leash.Activity Level | Theo is an energetic boy that would love an active adopter to take him on daily walks, runs or hikes. After exercise and love, he is happy to settle in and relax. Now and then he will howl a bit and let you know he is ready for action Health Notes | Theo is heartworm positive, but treatment is very successful and completely manageable with all the proper education. MHLRM will cover the expense of treatment at one of our approved veterinarians. Heartworm positive dogs go on to live happy, normal lives after treatment and rarely experience long-term side effects. Don't let this stop you from adopting Theo! He is also under treatment for Demodex, which is a non-contagious skin condition that should clear up over the next few months. He is missing a fair bit of fur right now, but hopefully that will fill in nicely as he heals. General Notes | Want to adopt this dog? Please do not email us.

Adopt Kelso / Theo and Receive Dogecoin
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Kelso / Theo's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised. Dogecoin is digital currency that can be exchanged for cash, traded, or held as an investment (see the "What is Dogecoin" section below).
0.0 DOGE is Kelso / Theo's current Dogecoin balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the Dogecoin. If you adopted the Kelso / Theo, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Kelso / Theo's Dogecoin here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the Dogecoin by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the Dogecoin. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Kelso / Theo was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Kelso / Theo’s Dogecoin balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
"The fun and friendly internet currency."
Dogecoin sets itself apart from other digital currencies with an amazing, vibrant community made up of friendly folks just like you. Dogecoin is a decentralized, peer-to-peer digital currency that enables you to easily send money online.
Learn more about it on youtube or at dogecoin.com.
We want the Kelso / Theo’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Kelso / Theo’s balance will remain in our general Dogecoin fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
