My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hi, I'm Thor!  

I am 3 year old lovable German Shorthair Pointer weighing in at 60 lbs.  My mom gave me up because she had to move and couldn’t take me to her new apartment.  I still have some anxiety, maybe from missing her, so I don’t like crates or confined spaces.   I’m not real comfortable riding in a car, so like with those confined spaces, I get a little stir crazy driving around.

My mom was not a disciplinarian, so I need some help there.  I am very smart and listen well, but I really need formal training.  The only command I know is “sit”.

As you may have heard, my breed is known for high energy.  I’m not too crazy in the house, but the more time you can spend with me offering mental and physical exercise, the calmer I am.  I have uncanny strength in my legs, even for my breed. I can run really fast and when you take me outside to play in a fenced in area, off leash, just pay close attention because if I get distracted near the fence, I may try to jump over, or dig under.  I think I may be a good candidate to try with invisible fencing. 

I love to play fetch and am really good at it.  If you throw it, I promise to bring it back.  I do like to drink lots and lots of water, so I need to go out several times a day.  I’m a bit of a sloppy drinker too, so keep a towel close. 

I love to cuddle and follow you with your every move.  I am a licker too, so hope you don’t mind kisses.  I am great with kids, but sometimes insecure around men I don’t know.  If you are a dog person, I know we’ll get along great.  Please consider adopting me.  As much as I love my foster family, I can’t wait to find a permanent home 

Please email the rescue volunteers at GSPrescueNJ@hotmail.com and ask for an adoption application!
