My story

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

Part Staffy? Part Adorable? Full on adorable is Thor! He is just not another black dog; if fact, he is so fun that if you meet him, you will see why we love this breed at the shelter (Thor is a courtesy post for the Brooke County Animal Shelter in BeechBottom, WV, about 45 minutes from Pittsburgh). 

Thor is a young adult -- about a year or two old who sports a smooth, sleek and easy-to-care for coat and ears that stand up or down according to his mood!

Thor likes to bounce and hop when he is happy and his joy is infectious. He is great with other dogs and always has his eyes on people looking for love and attention. Thor promises to bring the best of his breed traits including lots of contact and snuggles as well as being game for going wherever you go. He ADORES toys, especially if they squeak. This boy is medium weight, ready-to-travel size and is game for anything as long as he his with his family! He can be a bit excitable initially but quickly calms down to scoot close for cuddles. Thor is almost impossible to resist when he gazes up at you with eyes filled with love and kindness.

Please contact the Brooke County Animal Shelter at 304-394-0800 for more information or to arrange a meet and greet with Thor.

Additional adoption info

Adoption Guidelines:
- Before scheduling a meet-and-greet with one of our adoptable cats or dogs, you must complete an application and interview with an adoption team member.
- You must be 21 years or older.
- All animals in your home must be up-to-date on vaccinations and spayed / neutered.
- If you rent, we will need a copy of your lease stating the landlord permits pets along with the landlord’s contact information.
- We do not place animals as gifts for others.
- Adopted animals must be kept as indoor companions.
- We reserve the right to perform a home visit.

We aim to provide high quality care for the well-being of rescued cats and dogs until they are placed in forever homes. All animals are regularly vet checked, fully vaccinated, spayed / neutered and microchipped. They are routinely treated for fleas and worms as well as any medical issues.

Except for a limited number of cats fostered at our headquarters, our adoptable animals are cared for in loving volunteer foster homes. We get to know the pets’ personalities and needs very well, striving to make the best possible match for both animals and adopters.
