Thor is an absolute dream companion and a true gentle giant. Tipping the scales at nearly 100 pounds and standing nearly hip-height, Thor draws love and admiration wherever he goes. He eats up the attention and loves to be petted and snuggled by everyone he meets. He is great with kids and other dogs but not so good with the kitties. At his foster home, Thor has full run of the house and has never had an accident or torn anything up. He gets along with his foster brother, another male German Shepherd. Thor is *not* going to be a long-distance running or biking buddy-- shorter, more frequent walks and ball games in the yard are more this big guy's style. If you're looking for a big, gentle, snuggly guy, put in an application for Thor today!!
NOTE: In our experience many German Shepherd Dogs are very good with kids. In our bios, we may provide information on our experience with a particular dog and children. However AGSDR discourages ALL unsupervised animal/child interaction. Children should be supervised at all times when they interact with ANY animal, whether it is a horse, dog, cat, bunny, lizard, or any other species. Even loving household pets can have a grumpy day, or otherwise get tired of a child's attention, so proper supervision is essential for the well being of any child and any pet.
The entire biography of this dog is based solely upon our volunteers' experiences with the dog. The dog's age and weight are estimates, and statements about the health, temperament, training, and ability to get along with other animals, children, cats and other dogs, are estimated solely based on our volunteer's experiences with this dog. Your experiences with this dog may be quite different than those of our volunteers.
