My story

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

Thora is living in a foster home. Please submit an application from our website and/or email dogs@heartlandanimalshelter.org to learn if you are a match!

Thora is our beautiful 1 year old boxer mix who comes from Nebraska. She was living in their shelter, where they have almost 200 dogs, and she was overlooked there for no good reason.

She came to Heartland and has been doing well in a foster home. They absolutely adore her! She loves playing with soft and squeaky toys and enjoys gnawing on beef hide bones and bully sticks. Generally, she knows the difference between toys and other objects, though she occasionally will grab a hat or glove and needs a reminder!

She didn't have much experience walking on a leash before coming to us, but she is learning to heel and has the strength/ability to go on long walks. She's very curious, loves sniffing everything, and is obsessed with squirrels.

Although Thora doesn't live with dogs in her foster home, she has previously lived with other dogs and has met a few dogs in our care. She is VERY excited when she meets them and may need slower introductions, so she doesn't overwhelm them. Once she gets to know the dog, she relaxes and becomes calmer around them.

Here is what Thora's fosters have to say about her, "Thora is the ultimate companion who aims to please! Excitable at first, she quickly calms down and is the absolute sweetest. She loves long walks, playing with toys, and curling up on the carpet - as long as she gets to hang with her people. Comfortable in a crate, though she is thrilled to sleep on the bed and is virtually silent all night long. But when you open your eyes in the morning, get ready to be showered with wet kisses! Thora comes when called, sits beautifully, is super smart, and has the gentlest way of accepting treats. She is full of love and energy and can't wait to meet her forever family!"

Thora's adoption fee is $250. This animal is spayed, up to date on core vaccines, and Heartworm negative.
