Thor

Thor is adopted. Mighty Thor has just arrived. He is nearly 11 years old and his owner has sadly passed away.

Thor is fine with dogs and cats and has lived with both. Has not lived with children but he has been fine with visiting grandchildren.

He is an absolute gentleman, he walks around with his blanket and he loves to sofa surf.

Thor has a thyroid issue (he has medication and we will cover any expenses for this for the rest of his life) this is probably adding to his weight and he needs to lose some pounds to get his figure back.

Thor is currently living with one of our team.

Thor’s Assessment

Thor was assessed by a qualified behaviourist on 18 January:

  • Kennel behaviour: Thor wasn’t observed in the kennel environment. Within the office he was calm. He passed and did not react to other dogs.
  • Handling: Thor was walked on a slip lead. He doesn’t pull and walks at a reasonable pace. Thor had dry shampoo, towel and nails cut in the salon whilst I was present. No issues or reaction at all. I believe Thor is hard of hearing/deaf. He doesn’t respond to his name when called but does come towards humans when he can see them.
  • Sociability: Thor shows no reaction when passing other dogs. He glances at them then continues walking. He is relaxed and takes treats and affection from strangers very willingly. No issues with males or females, greets both in an equally calm manner.
  • Arousal & Reactivity: Reactivity on a scale of 1-5: 1.
    Thor shows no reaction to other dogs, traffic, cats or cows. He enjoys treats but takes them very gently, no snapping noted. Not observed with children or cyclists or in the car.
  • Possession: Thor is gentle when taking treats, he doesn’t snatch and he doesn’t grab treats that have been dropped on the floor. He has no interest in toys.
  • Assessors general comments: Thor is gentle and calm in his mannerisms. He doesn’t appear to be fazed by anything presented to him. He was groomed in a calm manner, no issues with having his claws cut.
