Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hi, my name is Thor. I am 4 years old (soon to be 5). My foster family thinks I am the best! I love being with all people, and I love kids! My favorite thing to do is be lazy. During the day, I rotate sleeping between three different napping spots as my foster mom works. Laying upside down is my favorite position. Most of the time, when the doorbell rings, I ignore it and continue with my nap. I like to go on walks on my terms…I can be a bit stubborn. Once I get going, I enjoy walking around the block, but that’s my limit. Car rides are another thing I love to do. My foster mom takes me with her whenever she can. My human foster sister gets annoyed because I am in the front seat when we pick her up from school, and she doesn’t think that is fair. LOL. I am pretty lazy; however, I get a burst of energy once (maybe twice) a day when I am extra goofy. Sometimes, during these bursts of energy, I bark at nothing or chew on things I’m not supposed to, like the remote, my foster mom’s phone, pens, etc. I LOVE squeaky toys. My human foster siblings like to run around while squeaking a toy and let me chase them. It’s a lot of fun! They think it’s really funny when I jump high and get it from them. I also like it when they play on the floor with me. Don’t be taken off guard if I pounce on you when we are playing, I think it’s fun. I didn’t have stairs at my previous family's house, so I wasn’t quite sure how to use them at first. I am now a pro and don’t mind them at all; even the long flight down to the basement. My foster family loves to watch me go down them because apparently it is so funny and cute since I have to bounce due to my short legs. I like to chase little basketballs when I’m down there. I am primarily potty trained. I know that I need to go outside to go, but because I need to go pretty frequently, if my foster humans get sidetracked, sometimes I go in the house or in my kennel because I can’t hold it any longer. I don’t mind the kennel if someone is in the room with me, like at night; however, I don’t like it when they are not near or are gone so I will bark. A couple of other things that aren’t my favorite are bathes and the vacuum. I have a cat foster brother that I don’t mind at all. Most of the time I ignore him. Occassionally, I think it is fun to chase him, but I wouldn’t hurt him. Because I am a good listener, if someone tells me to stop, I will. My previous family said that I am good with other dogs. My foster family thinks that I will be fine with dogs because I am not phased by them on our walks or by the neighbor's dog at the fence. Before they say for sure, they want to see how I do with a few of their dog friends. I get told all the time that I am handsome and have a great personality! And that someday there is going to be a family that is so lucky to love me as their own! I get neutered December 8th and once I'm healed from surgery I will be ready for adoption.
