Thor

My story

UPDATE: Thor is a sweet three-year-old boy loves people and wants to be as close to you as he can. He enjoys daily walks and walks well on a leash. In just a few short months he has come a long way with leash walking. While walking he can get a little excited when he sees another dog, but he is easily corrected. I make him sit and tell him to wait and he is the most patient boy. He just loves everyone and everything! One of his favorite things to do is sit in front of a window and look out at the world around him. And he loves car rides, too. Thor loves playing with other dogs and would love to have a doggie brother or sister in his new home. Sometimes he acts nervously around other dogs at first, but this quickly dissipates and off he goes playing and running around. His foster brother can play rough, which Thor puts up with patiently and then lets him know when he has had enough. Now that it is getting warm out he likes to lay on the couch on the porch and gaze into the backyard…most of the time watching his foster brother roam the backyard. Thor loves that his foster mom works from home. He will do best in a home where his owners are not gone for long periods of time. And no crates, please. He does not like them and will not go in them. He needs to be in a home that will not crate him. He sleeps through the night on his dog bed next to his foster mom’s bed. As long as he is in the same room as you then he is content. Kids? Thor loves them! Especially kids who give him lots of pets and love. He recently stayed with a family who has a pet rat and he did well with her. Gently and calmly watching it and nuzzling it. Thor is extremely trustworthy in the house and is house trained. He has never gotten into anything he is not supposed to. His foster mom always gives him a treat before she leaves the house and this makes his day! He LOVES treats. He knows basic commands like sit and lay down and we are working on stay. He wants to be right by your side so staying is a little hard for him right now. He does get very excited when people enter the home but he calms down quickly. He just loves people that much. Thor was an owner surrender who was taken in by a concerned family who nursed him back to health. He is about good as dogs come and just wants to show you how much he loves you.     Thor is a sweet three-year-old boy loves people and wants to be as close to you as he can.
