My story

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

Meet Thunder!

Thunder is a 40 lb, 1 year old, Shepherd Mix, and he is as striking as he is sweet. His ice blue eyes stop people in their tracks. His gentle nature wins them over the moment he leans in for affection.

Energy and Personality
Thunder is a loving, people focused dog who bonds quickly with adults. He enjoys walks, time outside, and quiet moments with his humans. He is sensitive, eager to connect, and happiest when the world is calm and predictable.

Training and Behavior
He is learning crate training and doing well with it. He walks beautifully on leash and is not reactive on walks. He aims to please and responds well to encouragement. Like many young dogs, he is still figuring out how to handle new environments and busy spaces. At his first big holiday gathering he found the noise, movement, and toddlers a bit overwhelming.

Social Life
Thunder thrives with adults and older teens. He is not comfortable with young children, whose fast movements and unpredictable energy are stressful for him. He settles quickly once he feels safe and enjoys quiet companionship.

Best Home Fit
Thunder will shine in a calm home with adults or older teens. He will do best with structure, clear guidance, and a peaceful environment. In return you will get a loyal companion with a big heart and a gentle soul. He is ready for a home where he can feel secure, understood, and loved.

MEET AND GREETS

We primarily rely on meet & greets for potential adopters. Approved adopters may meet adoptable animals at the home of the animal's foster, or possibly in the adopter's own home.

More about this rescue


Operation Paws for Homes, Inc. rescues dogs of all breeds and ages from high-kill shelters reducing the numbers being euthanized daily. We provide foster homes where they can get the love and attention needed before finding their forever homes. Our organization provides pet adoption services in Virginia, Washington DC, Maryland, and parts of Southern Pennsylvania. Operation Paws for Homes, a 501(c)(3) organization, is 100% donor funded and could not save these dogs and fulfill their dreams of being united with their forever families, without the dedication of our incredible adopters, fosters, donors and volunteers. Sadly, without our help, all of these adoptable animals would face almost certain euthanasia - usually within days or hours of arriving at the shelter. Each year we take in hundreds of wonderful animals who were left at shelters by no fault of their own.
