About Thor
Thor, often called Big Handsome or Bubba, weighs in at 120 pounds and brings a steady dose of affection to everyone he meets. After coming in with some medical challenges, including torn ligaments in both knees and environmental allergies that require ongoing meds and monitoring, Thor is now stable and happy. He navigates life well after his past surgeries but benefits from limited time on hard surfaces like cement and should avoid heavy exercise. Simple joys—good food, car rides, meeting new people, long walks, and belly rubs—are what keeps him content, though fireworks, water, and tight stairways aren't his thing. He does well with dogs of all sizes after a proper introduction, but his size and strength mean he sometimes needs gentle correction during play. Thor should be placed in a home without cats—he approaches them with a bit too much enthusiasm. This big-hearted dog looks for a committed adopter who can maintain his indoor lifestyle, keep up with his medical upkeep, and match his easygoing but sometimes boisterous energy.
