About Thor

Meet Thor, a German Shepherd and Husky mix with an independent streak as strong as his name. Thor thrives on being your partner, not just your pet.

He enjoys being around people but has a reputation for stubbornness and self-direction, true to his breeds. Training with positive reinforcement is a must; Thor works best when rewards are on the table. He’s dog social with the right match, favoring an easygoing canine companion who won’t mind if Thor sometimes takes over the bed. Adult homes with breed experience are ideal, especially those prepared for his flair for independence. Thor does not get along with children and requires a home without them. He gravitates more toward men but will accept women who win him over with treats and belly rubs.
