Meet 2412-0587 Thor

THOR - 1 year old, 35 pounds, puppy energy, puppy jumping, puppy mouthiness THOR is a sweet and friendly very young boy surrendered to VBACAC when his owner could no longer care for him.  Thor needs daily training and daily attention as he is pretty much all puppy. Most of the time we were together, only two paws were on the ground as his excitement and enthusiasm had him jumping and bouncing all over. When left alone, Thor was crated sometimes and left free to roam other times.  He loves all kinds of toys including plush, tug and balls. He is good with children, loves to play with them, and loves going for car rides. Thor was used to walking several times a day but still has accidents in the house. Thor is looking for a patient family ready to devote lots of time to him in training, exercise and play. He will push your buttons. He will jump when he's not supposed to jump. He will mouth your hand in excitement. He will want to play when you are not in the mood to play. Please be ready for that puppy energy and puppy behaviors. Thor might chew on blankets. Again, training will be vital to help him curb these behaviors and put that energy into other more appropriate behaviors.  Thor is currently in a back kennel so if you don't see him, please just ask.
