Story
My name is Theo, I’m a happy guy who lives for the simple things. If you have a fluffy toy, I will gladly show you my "surgical skills" by pulling all the stuffing out for you! I also think snowstorms are the best thing ever—there’s nothing like doing zoomies in a fresh drift. If it’s not snowing weather, you can usually find me swimming; I’m a total water dog at heart. And when the day is done? I am a professional-level snuggler. Recently, my Mommy had a human baby. I love my family so much, but having a tiny human around makes me anxious. I get way too excited, and because I’m a bouncy guy, I can be a little too rough without meaning to be. It’s been stressful for all of us, and my parents want me to be in a home where I can truly relax and be myself. This is the hardest decision my Mommy & Daddy have had to make so they would love to find a family that wouldn’t mind staying in touch once in a while. A photo or an update here or there would mean the world to them.

He brings a joyful presence to everyday life and thrives when he has a balance of activity and routine.Pokey is friendly, social, eager to engage and loves playing with other dogs. He does well living with cats and generally leaves them alone, showing minimal interest and good respect for their space. Pokey would do best with older kids, 10 and up who can appreciate his playful nature and help reinforce good manners.Pokey is fully house trained and crate trained with consistency and routine. He’s a quick learner and already knows basic commands like sit, down, paw, come, leave it, and off. He’s continuing to work on his leash skills and will keep improving with practice and consistency.Pokey is an always-happy companion who loves being part of the action and then snuggliest boy after a chance to get some energy out. He’s ready for a home that will offer guidance, routine, and plenty of opportunities for fun. Could he be the adventurous sidekick you’ve been waiting for?Please Note: All dogs are posted on our website until they are officially adopted. This dog may have other interested adopters in line.
