Meet Theo

Hi, I'm Theo!!!   I'm a youngish German Shepherd mix and I weigh about 75 lbs. Most of my coat is light brown, with black highlights. I have a dark mask on my face/ ears and a few white patches on my toes and chest. My foster mom says I'm a bootiful boi, whatever that means. I'll let you judge for yourself from my pictures.    I am tutored (neutered) and up to date on all of my shots, heartworm preventative, etc. The vet says that I'm around 3 years old and my teeth are in good shape.   Somehow I ended up in the median of Highway 82 between Munster and Lindsay on a very hot day in September. A passing motorist saw me and posted about me on Facebook but they weren't able to stop. My foster mom and some other good Samaritans saw the post and came to get me (and saved my life!) but I wasn't able to walk. My foster mom took me to the vet and unfortunately, we found out that one of my rear legs was broken. She took me to a surgeon who could help, and Dr. Bill fixed me up a couple of days later!  I had to spend a few months getting better… being in my crate most of the time and only getting leash walks was kind of a bummer. Dr. Bill gave me a clean bill of health in mid-December and I have no limp or other ill effects. I love to play at the dog park and run around the backyard now that I'm all better.   I'm a bit of a goofy boy and my foster mom calls me her 75 lb marshmallow. We're working on obedience training now that I'm not hurting anymore and the weather is warming up. I like it when my foster mom throws the ball for me, and I go after it, but I don't usually bring it back.   I'm a good watchdog and I like to tell everybody in the house when the Amazon man or the UPS man or the mailman are coming to the door.   I have never had an accident in the house and I'm really proud of that.   My foster mom doesn't know anything about my past, and she wants to find the perfect furever parents for me. I'm skittish around brand new people but I warm up fast. I would do best in a home with no small children…I want to be the only baby and little people scare me. I do really well with older kids and adults.    I also really like my foster sisters and my foster brother. My foster sisters are small dogs, and I just love them soooo much. My foster brother is a big dog like me and he's not a fan of other dogs, so we don't get to mix, but I really wish we could play. I haven't ever met a cat.   I have some separation anxiety, and I'm still working through that. I don't like my crate very much because I miss my foster mom. I'm happy I don't have to go in there too much, except at night or when my foster mom isn't home.   If you would like to meet me, fill out an adoption application:
