Story
Thor is truly a gentle giant! This sweet big boy has been described as friendly, affectionate, goofy and eager to please. He's a very heavy chewer and is a champion at destroying toys, balls, and yak bones. He loves things that squeak, playing tug and keepaway, and his chews. He also loves to lay outside and take in the scenery when the weather is nice. Thor is incredibly patient, his foster dog friends like to hop all over him but he takes it in stride and only moves when it's his idea. He has some weakness in his hindquarters and prefers to play in short bursts, take short walks, and needs lots of rest. Thor was recently diagnosed with GOLPP (Geriatric Onset Laryngeal Paralysis Polyneuropathy). GOLPP is a common clinical condition affecting geriatric, large-breed dogs in which the laryngeal innervation degenerates over time. Affected dogs exhibit respiratory stridor, exercise intolerance, dyspnea, throat clearing, and may even collapse. Because of this, Thor won't be your hiking buddy but he'll definitely love spending time with you in the home and relaxing out of the heat. Dogs can live several years with this condition while others can survive months. Thor does cough and have a weakened back end but still in great spirit. Ideal home; no stairs and mostly carpeted. Relaxed home that isn't seeking an energetic companion. Cats: Thor has lived with cats in the past and has been very friendly. Like we said - gentle giant! Dogs: Yes. Thor currently lives with another dog and does well. Kids: Yes Potty Trained: Yes Thor will give a soft bark at the door when he needs to be let out. Adoption Fee: $75 As a rescue, we provide the care, procedures and testing that is available to us. Adopters will be responsible for continued preventatives, follow-up appointments, and medications (if applicable). At times, adopters will be responsible for procedures not completed in rescue (dentals, bloodwork, etc.) Your new dog will receive their rabies and distemper vaccine, heartworm test and microchip. $50 discount for seniors (65+) and veterans. Adoption fees help pay for the dog's veterinary exam, vaccinations (rabies and distemper) HW test, a microchip, and spay/neuter if needed and additional health needs specific to each animal. Grey Face Rescue does not adopt outside of Minnesota for now. We apologize for the inconvenience. We do not adopt animals to families whose current pets are not up-to-date on vaccinations or not altered. Exceptions may be made for medical reasons as stated by a veterinarian and we will require proof of that recommendation. Thank you for understanding our mission to reduce overpopulation. Once you submit your application, our adoption manager will be in touch, so please check your spam folder if you do not see something from us within 7-10 days. Thank you again for your interest in a Grey Face senior. We appreciate your support! September 24, 2023, 12:10 pm
