Meet Thunder, an energetic and playful young shepherd mix with a heart full of love and a body that thinks it’s a lap dog! 🐕💕 This charming boy has been on quite a journey. He originally came to the shelter as a tiny puppy and spent precious months growing up amongst friends and staff who adore him. In July, he found what he thought was his forever home, but alas, he was recently returned due to circumstances that were beyond his control. 😢 You see, Thunder is still learning the ropes—he was a playful puppy without the lessons on how to engage gently with young children, leading to a few unexpected bumps. Let’s be honest, he didn’t mean to knock anyone down! Now that he's back, he’s feeling a bit stressed, and the big-hearted team here is hoping to find him a loving home where he can thrive again. ✨ Thunder is a smart cookie! He is food motivated—which means training him will be a breeze. His previous family mentioned that he was potty trained and would stay crated when alone. Plus, he walks beautifully on a leash and has gotten along well with most other dogs. 🌟 At first, he can be a little shy, but once he feels comfortable, you’ll find that he is genuinely one of the sweetest and most affectionate companions you could ever wish for. ❤️ So, if your heart is open and you’re ready to give this lovable pup a second chance, please don’t wait!
