HELP ME FIND A HOME
Are you right for Thor?
Hello.....is it Thor you're looking for? Thor is a lovely 2-year-old German Shepherd x Husky. Thor's ideal home would be as an only pet and where the youngest are secondary school aged who have had some experience with big and sometimes bouncy dogs. Thor doesn't like being left for long periods at a time, so he will need adopters who are happy to keep him company all of the time initially until he has settled in. A secure garden for him to enjoy would be lovely. Thor is very worried by walking on slippery flooring, such as tiles, so adopters should consider if they can manage this in their home. Thor has hip dysplasia which will likely require ongoing pain relief and management. This will be discussed in full at application. If you rent your property, please ensure you have written permission from your landlord before applying for a dog.
Is Thor right for you?
Thor is a friendly boy who has found himself at our centre through no fault of his own. He's quite the socialite, always eager to greet everyone with a warm hello and never shy about requesting a snuggle and some affection. While Thor enjoys meeting up with other dogs, his hip dysplasia means we're seeking a home where he can be the only pet. Thor is a very sweet boy who we are sure will be a lovely addition to his new family. Could you be the forever home Thor is looking for? Please note that you won’t be applying for a specific dog, but you can tell us what type of dog you’re looking for. You can also add up to four favourites to your application to give us an idea of the dogs you like, so we can consider you for similar dogs. Once you’ve submitted your application, we can’t change or update your favourites. Adding a dog to your application is not a reservation but a guide for us to find you a match.
