My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Thad!

BEEN AT GLDR SINCE MARCH-ZERO APPLICATIONS :-( DOING GREAT IN HIS FOSTER HOME!

CHECK OUT HIS VIDEOS! HE'S SUPER SMART!

Athletic and intelligent, Thad is a hunk of a hound dog. At three years old and 70 pounds, he's the perfect balance of low-key loyalty and sniffing sleuth. After sitting in the kennel since March with no interest, Thad is now getting a much-deserved break in a great foster home!

Not only is Thad one handsome fellow, he's a great houseguest! House-trained and crate-trained, he's got it all! Thad is very treat and toy-motivated, though plush toys don't stand a chance against him! Training will be an excellent way to form a lasting bond with Thad. He already knows "sit, down, stay, and drop it". He's a rockstar on a leash and would love to join you on a long walk where he can sniff till his heart is content.

Thad loves his time in the yard and keeps himself entertained by tossing the ball around and has the best time! A yard for him to explore is a must for his new home. Thad will make an excellent walking/hiking buddy too! He is also great in the car and is ready to join you on your next adventure!

Thad currently lives with another pup in the home and does well with her, though we feel he'd be happiest as the only pup in the home. He is protective of his toys, so his new family will need to work with him on trading up for other toys and treats. He's done wonderful learning "drop it" and we are confident he will continue to improve. He's slowly getting used to their cat and we think he may have the potential to live with a feline friend in his new home.

Based on our evaluation, we feel Thad would do well in an active home with adults or families with kids ages 16 and up. He does well with other pups socially, but would be happiest as the only dog in the home.

If you're looking for an independent guy who is up for adventure, then you've found your pup! Please visit greatlakesdogrescue.com today and submit an application for our happy-go-lucky hound!
