About me Hi, I'm Thor. I'm a bit shy and find this shelter life quite overwhelming. New faces and loud noises scare me, so I tend to keep to myself. I'm learning commands like 'sit' and 'stay,' but I need someone who understands that I take a little while to warm up. I'm working on my social skills, but I'll need a patient and gentle friend to help me feel safe and loved. Adopting me means giving me a chance to show you the loyal and loving companion I can be once I feel secure.

| 03/11/2026 **Dog Introduction with A5159779, Mac** Handlers separated from kennel mate, both dogs were pulled and separated for introductions to same dog out of sight of each other. Once separated from kennel mate, handler prepared large loop, dog stood near guillotine and had brief moments of loose posture and then would stiffen. Handler was able to cast large loop over dog on second try, once secured handler removed dog from kennel. Dog walked in erratic, darty manor to PY; dog was hesitant to pass through catch pin threshold. Once in PY handler held onto leash and walked dog around. Handler gave dog about 10 min of decompression time alone in the yard while Assistant handler was performing dog intro with kennel mate and Mac. During decompression time handler tried to engage with dog, dog was avoidant of handler. when handler would reach out dog would become wide eyed and try to move away. Dog was then introduced to Mac. Dogs did well at fence line,m displacing affiliative posture, dog loosened in posture when Mac appeared in sight. Mac was brought into yard for on leash greeting, dog did well, very loose and even began approaching handler and allowing pets but not soliciting them. Handler released dog while Mac remained on leash. Dog would survey the yard, run up and initiate play with Mac.
