About Thor

Meet Thor, a young Great Dane who’s still very much a puppy at heart. Weighing in at around 140 lbs, he's a big guy with an even bigger personality. Neutered and up to date on vaccinations, Thor is full of energy and loves being around people. His friendly nature makes him a joy to have around, and he’s house trained, doing well when left in his crate, which he considers his safe haven for naps. Though he’s a playful soul who may get into a bit of mischief, like opening the trash can, he’s learning the ropes. For now, he prefers to be fed separately due to some occasional grumblings during mealtime. He plays well with female dogs and is gradually adjusting his manners around males, especially since he’s just been neutered. Thor enjoys using the magnetic doggy door to explore his surroundings and loves rolling around in the grass. Although he’s a large dog, he has the heart of a lap dog, often trying to snuggle right up next to you. His foster mom is working with him daily on basic commands, and he’s showing great progress. If you’re looking for a big cuddle buddy with lots of love to give, Thor might just be your perfect match. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and let’s get started.
