Dog of the Week: Thor

Thor, also known as Big Handsome or Bubba, is 110 pounds of pure love! Thor came to us as a medical case and now that he is happy and healthy he is ready to find his forever home. In 2023, Thor had two surgeries to correct a torn CCL in both knees and has had no mobility problems since then. The vet suggested he would do best with limited time on cement surfaces and no aggressive exercise. Thor has also been diagnosed with environmental allergies which is a lifelong condition that is being closely maintained and monitored. 

Thor is a big love bug who certainly knows what he likes and doesn’t in this world. Like most dogs, he enjoys the simple pleasures of being a dog such as food, car rides, meeting new people, walks, belly rubs, and a good brushing. Some things he does not like include fireworks, water, and enclosed stairways. Thor can often be seen chasing the squirrels and bunnies out of his yard. He would do best in a home with no cats as he approaches them in a very excited manner and with energy that is too much for most cats to handle. He does a great job at meeting dogs and tends to ignore them until they get a proper introduction. After that, he loves to play with other dogs but is not always aware of his strength. He may be 100 pounds but he certainly does not believe that. He currently has a foster sibling that is about twenty pounds so he gets along with all sizes of dogs but may need some corrections if his energy is too high.
