Meet Thor! *ADOPTION FEE WAIVED* Thor is a 1-year-6-month-old Border Collie mix who came to us as an owner surrender. This handsome boy has a big heart, a loyal nature, and a bright future ahead of him.Thor originally struggled with resource guarding and attachment-based behaviors.– Resource guarding means he may feel the need to protect items he values (like toys or food).– Attachment-based behavior means he bonds strongly to “his person” and can become anxious or protective in certain situations.Our team has been working closely with Thor, and he has made amazing progress. He is young, eager to learn, and very responsive to training. To set him up for success, we recommend a home with no small children or a single, committed adopter who can continue building his confidence and consistency. Ongoing training will help Thor continue thriving.Thor walks beautifully on a leash, knows basic commands, and loves staying close to his person. He is sweet, affectionate, and truly wants to please. Once he bonds with you, he will be your loyal shadow and adventure buddy.Thor is ready for someone who can give him structure, patience, and love—could that be you?
