Afraid of storms but just wants to be with you.<br/><br/>BARKING: High - Extremely LOUD<br/><br/>EXPERIENCED OWNER NEEDED: Yes<br/><br/>CRATE TRAINED: Yes but will break out<br/><br/>HOUSE TRAINED: Yes<br/><br/>GOOD IN CAR: Yes. Afraid.<br/><br/>FUN FACTS: Theo was severely abused. Upon entry into rescue he hid in a corner, his back to us, and shook hard. He&#39;s come a long way, however, and does well meeting people, but he is slow to approach. He has developed separtion anxiety and is currently taking medication for that so he doesn&#39;t get into anything while nobody is home - otherwise he&#39;s extremely well behaved. He loves his people very much, and is devoted. Due to his fears, however, especially with changes into a new home, he will require commitment, devotion, compassion, and patience. He will not be a dog that is snuggly and kissy or wrapped up in his new family, due to his need to learn to trust. He will take a significant amount of time to learn and to establish acceptance of his new life, but he is SO worth it. Theo is a VERY KIND and GENTLE dog with a soft, loving heart. He has absolutely ZERO aggression. He&#39;s also highly intelligent. He requires a 6ft fence for playtime and to be on a leash at ALL times when not in the fenced area due to his fears and his breed - NO EXCEPTIONS. He will also need someone who can handle his strength for times when he might be afraid on a leash. Theo loves his canine companions and would be unhappy in a home without other dogs, but he will need gentle introductions b/c he&#39;ll be afraid. No dominant males, please. He loves to play and highly depends on his canine friends. Theo LOVES treats and food, and he is very mild mannered when taking them from you. He loves his morning and evening treat and runs to the kitchen and sits handsomely when he knows it&#39;s time. He&#39;s a fun boy with a tremendous smile, and he also talks to you at times. Theo is devoted to those he loves and appreciates their kindness. He is a lovely boy with an innocent and very sweet disposition.
