About Thor
Thor is a stunning soft and sweet mixed breed boy (our guess by the pretty face is retriever x ridgeback but we don't know for sure!)
Thor absolutely LOVES other dogs of all sizes and is at his happiest tearing around the backyard playing chasey with his 4 legged friends!
Thor is still a VERY timid boy and can be easily startled and scared of strange people, being around other dogs gives him a ton of confidence and settles his anxiety almost instantly! For this reason, Thor MUST be homed with another friendly, happy-go-lucky, high energy pooch that can keep up with him! He'll also need a decent sized yard to zoom around in (see video), as well as daily walks and mental stimulation.
Thor is generally good on lead but is still easily spooked by unfamiliar things so would need a strong handler, and to remain on-lead at all times, unless in a fenced area, until his confidence builds.
He is a big, sweet goofball looking for a patient and dedicated family who will take things slow to get him adjusted to the outside world and make him see that humans aren't so bad.
Thor is a super fast learner and knows the commands sit, drop, shake and on your bed. He is also crate trained and his new home must be willing to continue with this method as he needs to have that safe space to retreat to if he gets overwhelmed.
Thor is currently on anxiety medication to help him with his fear of strangers and his new family must be willing to keep up his meds until his confidence builds. Once you'e earned his trust, it won't take him long to warm up, he loooooooooooooves to snuggle, so expect lots of affection and rolling around begging for belly rubs.
Thor is currently being fostered in Langwarrin.
Please don't apply just for the gorgeous looks this boy has, he needs a very special and patient furever home where he has the time to slowly adjust and be spoiled!
Medical notes
Currently on anti-anxiety medication because of his fearful/timid nature, no aggression shown
