About Thor

Start your journey together! Apply now. Meet Thor! Thor and his friend Luna are both looking for a new and loving home to call their own. Luna and Thor are always down to cuddle and give kisses. Both walk on a leash very easily after they get out all of their excitement to go out with their favorite people! They are the best of both worlds and can be that high energy husky at play time as well as the couch potato companion when you want to relax. Thor will lay still and allow you brush him all day if you are willing and Luna would not waste a second to cuddle with you on the couch. Luna can be very talkative if she wants something like food or outside time but they are very quiet and don't bark much. They have become very dependent on one another for they do everything together like two peas in a pod! The current owner would love to see them stay together. They have been around a wide range of aged kids and love children once they warm up to them. Their current owner has 3 kids ages 17, 14 and one month old and they will often find them laying around with the kids in their rooms. They have a cat they have lived with as well, but haven't had direct contact without supervision. Typically, they don't pay much mind to the cat overall. If you’re interested in these friends, the listed contact will help you learn more about bringing them home. Thor is a Sagittarius, so you can expect an adventurous spirit and a loving companion! Lynchburg Humane Society is assisting the owners in promoting Thor and Luna to help them find a new home. These pets are not in the custody of the Lynchburg Humane Society. All questions regarding temperament, disposition, and health should be directed to the contact provided above. This could be the start of something paw-some.
