Thanos! Our big happy boy! This 5yr old, 72 pound buddy arrived after being found left behind in a home. No one came to claim him, just left him confined to a small part of room against a full length mirror. Poor fella! Thanos needs a family that can provide him a fenced yard so he can run and play! He loves to be pet, he is desperate for attention. He always looks to engage with a human friend. He will run after a toy when you throw it, then quickly realize you aren't running with him, so he returns back to your side for more attention. He is also really interested in making doggy friends, but appears to have no social graces on how to do that. Thanos can possibly go to a home (with slow introductions) with a low-key canine companion. The ideal forever family would be where they provide continued training, patience and help to navigate through this world.
