THOR - Almost 3 years old, MALE YELLOW LAB, 85 Pounds, Needs to be Neutered
Background: Thor's owners need to rehome him and two of their other Labs due to his mom's health issues which have made it difficult to properly care for them. Thor and the other two Labs are housed in outdoor kennels in the backyard. They are all friendly dogs in need of training.
What Thor's Family Says: Thor is described as hyper, playful, and loving. He knows a few commands like sit, down, come, leave it, wait, off, go get the ball and he’ll offer his paw when you say “mano” (Spanish for hand). He’s especially fond of toys, the water, and playing fetch.
What Rescue Rep Says: Thor initially greeted us with some light "woofs" and was a little cautious of us as he was next to his dad. It didn't take him long to warm up to us. Thor lives with two other Labs — the mom to his son and his son — and gets along well with them. He has been exposed to one of the Chihuahuas in the home. There is also an indoor/outdoor cat that he seems indifferent towards while sometimes curious and will bark at him. One of our volunteers took her intact female over to meet with Thor and his canine mates, individually, to see how each did with a dog outside of their usual circle. All, including Thor, did fine.
Because Thor hasn't had any recent training, he's best suited for experienced dog owners who are familiar with Labrador Retrievers. Thor will thrive in a home where he can be part of the family and receive consistent guidance and basic obedience training. He'll also need help with housetraining.
Thor would likely enjoy the company of another friendly dog and could do well with older kids. He may not be the best fit for households with toddlers or babies, as he can be jumpy when excited. Ideally, we’re looking for a home where he won’t be left alone for long stretches during the day, a home with a backyard with room for Thor to roam, and a family committed to his training. Thor loves the water and is ball obsessed! He enjoys playing fetch and is very agile. He would do well with an active family and could potentially make a great running partner. I think he would love to swim, as well!
Medical: Thor is in good health and needs to be neutered. We will schedule this as soon as Otis has a foster or adopter in place.
