🐶 Meet Thor — A Big, Snuggly Boxer with Energy, Heart, and a Goofy Side
Thor is a handsome brown Boxer with a joyful spirit, a big heart, and a whole lot of personality. He was surrendered due to changes in his family’s schedule—not because of anything he did wrong—and he’s ready for a fresh start with people who can appreciate a big, affectionate dog.
Thor is fully house trained (no accidents!) and does well on a leash, with only occasional pulling. He’s friendly with adults, kids, and other dogs, and he recently impressed everyone by calmly walking through a large crowd at a holiday lights event.
This smart boy already knows sit, down, and stay, and he loves engaging with his people. He’s extremely snuggly and happiest when he’s close to his humans—on the couch, leaning in for pets, or soaking up attention. A pup cup still earns him instant devotion. ❤️
🐾 A Few Important Things to Know About Thor
Thor plays well with other dogs but tends to be on the rougher side, with lots of chasing and tackling. Because of this, he may not be the best match for smaller dogs. He could do well with a dog who enjoys energetic play and can match his size and style.
He’s older-kid friendly, but because he’s a big dog with a strong, happy tail, he’s not ideal for very young children who might be knocked over or intimidated. Kids who are dog-savvy and comfortable with larger dogs would be a great fit.
Thor can also get a bit mouthy and vocal during play, especially in the mornings when his energy is highest. He’s not aggressive—just enthusiastic and learning how to manage big feelings in a big body. He’s already showing improvement, especially with consistent redirection, and responds best when play is calmly disengaged rather than physically pushed away. Continued training will help him polish these manners even more.
Thor is crate trained for daytime when his people are away. He may howl briefly before settling, which is expected as he continues decompressing outside the shelter environment.
🏡 Thor’s Ideal Home
Thor will thrive with:
• Experienced dog owners
• An active household
• Continued training and structure
• Confident handlers who enjoy working with a smart, energetic dog
• Plenty of affection (he gives it right back!)
Once his morning energy is out, Thor settles nicely and chills for the rest of the day, making him a wonderful balance of playful and relaxed.
If you’re looking for a loving, loyal, goofy Boxer who wants to be part of your world and is ready to keep learning, Thor could be an amazing addition to the right home. 🐾💙
