Meet Theo – The Gentle Soul with a Heart of Gold

Age: 4 years old
Location: United Doberman Rescue (UDR)
Status: Ready for a second chance at forever

Theo is one of those dogs who leaves a lasting impression—kind eyes, a calm spirit, and a heart as big as his Doberman smile.

This sweet 4-year-old boy has had a loving home and a life filled with snuggles, playtime, and the joy of family. Sadly, his humans faced a heartbreaking situation: their young child was diagnosed with cancer and required out-of-state care for months. Wanting only the best for Theo, and knowing he deserved more than a life in boarding, they made the incredibly difficult decision to surrender him to United Doberman Rescue.

Theo has been patiently waiting since May for his new forever home, and he truly is a gem. He’s house-trained, crate-trained, and has lived peacefully with children and small dogs. He’s easygoing, well-mannered, and gentle—a big, handsome boy with a soft touch and a loyal heart.

Whether you’re looking for a walking buddy, a couch companion, or a best friend for your family, Theo’s the kind of dog who fits right in. He’s calm in the home, friendly with new people, and just wants someone to love again.

If you're looking for a Doberman who’s past the puppy chaos and ready to bring warmth, steadiness, and love into your life—Theo is your guy.
