THEO THE MAGNIFICENT – A Loyal and Dedicated Companion.

Theo, a 7-year-old Bernese Mountain Dog/Sheltie mix, needs a new family or companion who is committed to investing the time and energy required to help him reach his full potential. As a working dog, Theo thrives with physical and mental stimulation and is best suited for an active household. He is calm, friendly, and well-mannered around both people and other dogs.

Theo enjoys outdoor activities such as playing with his human family members, socializing with other dogs at the park, and taking long walks around the neighbourhood. He is affectionate and seeks human companionship, particularly in the form of cuddling.

Theo’s current family is unable to provide the level of stimulation and engagement he requires, resulting in some frustration due to unmet needs. Although he currently shares his home with another working dog, Theo would ideally thrive as the only dog in the household, as he forms strong attachments to his human family members. He is food-driven, which makes him highly trainable but requires vigilance to prevent him from accessing food on counters or in the trash.

While Theo can be protective of his home and family, exhibiting barking and excitement when strangers or delivery personnel approach, this behaviour will be addressed through further training (provided by Gerdy’s Rescue).

Theo is in good health, though he is currently carrying some extra weight (he weighs approximately 60+ lbs.), which can be managed through increased exercise. He is neutered, has had a recent dental cleaning, is microchipped, and is up to date on vaccinations. He is house-trained, comfortable staying alone for part of the day, and is secure in his bed when left alone.

Given his activity level and vocal nature, Theo would be best suited for a detached house in a quiet neighbourhood with a securely fenced backyard. If there is a swimming pool, a secure pool fence is required. If children, aged 10 plus recommended. Due to his vocalizations, Theo is not suitable for apartment or condo living. No cats.
