About Thunder
Thunder is a striking 3-4 year old Red Heeler mix who weighs around 70 lbs. His journey began in a shelter where he found himself abandoned and scared after his owner, who suffered from dementia, could no longer care for him. Initially nervous and confused, he faced an uncertain fate but thankfully got a second chance, allowing the real Thunder to shine through. He's a sweet, lovable boy with a perfectly balanced energy. Thunder enjoys activity but isn’t hyper; he's calm, respectful, and a pleasure to have around. He interacts beautifully with dogs of various sizes and ages, displaying zero aggression, making him a great fit for a home with another canine companion. Though he may take time to warm up to unfamiliar people, patience will reveal the incredibly gentle spirit he possesses. Thunder aims to connect on his own terms, establishing trust without pressure. He's neutered and up to date on vaccines, crate trained, and rides nicely in the car. Good with older, dog-respectful children, Thunder is still discovering that humans can be trustworthy. Now, what he needs most is a loving family to call his own. Will you be the one to give Thunder the forever home he's been waiting for? Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and let's get started.
