THOR

Description

Thor is a friendly, outgoing puppy who enjoys meeting new people and dogs just as much as he does exploring with his nose. While he is not capable of wielding Mjölnir like a human due to his lack of opposable thumbs, this good boy would definitely be able to pick it up in his mouth and trot around with it like the world's most dangerous squeaky toy.OTHER PETS: Thor greeted similar sized dogs appropriately. He would likely get along with most other social dogs but he could be intimidating to smaller dogs simply because he is a larger boy. Thor should meet any dogs he would be living with prior to adoption.[Likely (Must Meet First)] OWNER EXPERIENCE: Experience with positive reinforcement or willingness to learn. Thor has likely had limited opportunities to learn new skills; he would do best with humans who are committed to using positive reinforcement and understand that puppies need patience, happy experiences, and time. [Some Experience] KIDS: Thor is comfortable with most handling, playful with humans and has not engaged in resource guarding while at TJO. He is enjoys play, but as a normal puppy sometimes gets jumpy when excited - since Thor is still young, excitable, and learning about the world around him, he may knock over smaller humans unintentionally while playing.[13+ / dog savvy (Must Meet First)]ACTIVITY LEVEL: Thor is a playful dog who gets excited but does settle well. He enjoys playing with toys and humans, and is learning loose-leash walking. In order to keep Thor's mind and muscles in good shape as he grows up he should have a variety of things to engage him between walks, enrichment toys, and learning via happy experiences.[Good Walking Buddy] VETERINARY CARE: [Routine] GROOMING: [Regular Brushing]LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED: Positive reinforcement will help Thor bond with his new owner, build confidence, and learn new skills and fun tricks while building confidence.
