About Thor

Thor is an older dog with a quiet soul. Surrendered by his owner after a life spent tethered outside, Thor arrived unsure of the world beyond the end of his chain. The first time he had a leash on, he paced in circles—exactly the size of his former world. Over time, he’s learned that freedom is bigger and softer than he imagined. A shy, gentle spirit, Thor takes a while to warm up. His trust is hard-won, but that first tail wag is something special. He never shows aggression; instead, he watches the world with calm, wary eyes. After coming to the shelter in rough shape, he’s put on much-needed weight and is now much healthier, though he carries a few scars as reminders of the resilience it took to get this far. Thor gets along with calm, mellow dogs who match his energy. He should not live with cats. He’s an adult, likely a bit past seven years old—a classic November Scorpio, both resilient and loyal. He will be neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, dewormed, and protected against fleas and ticks before heading home. If you appreciate a dog with quiet strength and patience, Thor is waiting.
