Thor

My story

I NEED A FOSTER CARE HOME. Hi guys! My name is Thor and I’m an all-American dog. I love all the things the world has to offer us dogs … hikes, laying on the couch, spray cheese, laying on the couch and hot dogs. I am 8 years old and I sadly lost my home when my owner had to go to an assisted living facility. I am still have so much love to give and so much life to live. I hope someone will look past my age and give me a chance to enjoy my golden years. I have made friends with some dogs, but really, the humans are where it’s at. I love to be petted and scratched. I love companionship and spending time with people. I am a laid back boy who enjoys all the mellow moments in life. I just need people to spend them with. Please give me a chance! Adoption fee: $80.

So, for most of our adoptable dogs, we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each dog as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not by breed label. Why is labeling a dog such a big deal? A label will stick with a dog for the rest of its life. A label can mean discrimination, losing its home or even death. Labels are a problem for the dogs when we, as the local experts on animals, allow adopters, politicians and community members to think that the label we assign can predict who that dog is or will be. Examples: Identify these mixed breed dogs (pdf) Now, compare these canine DNA results with the survey responses to see that dog breeds cannot be visually identified, not even by the experts. Adoption Process: Complete the application at www.pawsforliferescue.org. We then arrange a location, date and time for you to meet some pets. If the meeting goes well and everyone is happy, you begin the mandatory, minimum two-week adjustment period with the pet as part of your family. You will pay the non-refundable adoption fee at the start of the two-week adjustment period. This pending period allows your new dog or cat time to adjust to their new home, new people, new routine, etc., and for you to decide if it's a match and the right pet for you. At the end of two weeks (some people extend the adjustment time as needed and that's fine too), if everyone is happy, then we finalize the adoption. Feel free to email if you have any questions.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Thor, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
