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

Meet Thor!

A handsome five-year-old Labrador Retriever mix from North Andover, MA, who’s a delightful mix of playfulness and affection, with a sleek black coat and a striking white patch on his chest. Weighing a solid 65 pounds, Thor is ready to bring his medium-energy enthusiasm and cuddly charm to a loving family!

Thor is an obedience superstar, mastering commands like sit, stay, paw, roll over, and heel. He adores fetch with tennis balls, tugging on chew toys, and running freely in a secure fenced yard—a must for this outdoor-loving guy! Thor thrives in the company of other dogs, making him a hit at doggy daycare, and he’s neutral with cats, giving them space while focusing on his favorite activities.

Despite his friendly nature, Thor has a few quirks. He’s reactive to the mailman’s visits and on walks, he can be reactive to other dogs but is eager to learn with consistent, positive reinforcement. His new family should be ready to help him build confidence and maintain his focus during these moments.

Large gatherings aren’t his cup of tea, and Thor appreciates having a quiet retreat when the house gets busy. He’s great with small groups and loves lounging on the couch with his people during movie nights or reading sessions, showing off his cuddly and affectionate side.

Thor is house-trained, neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations. His ideal home includes a secure fenced yard where he can safely explore and burn off energy, and older children who can join him in playtime and respect his signals.

This loving, loyal boy is looking for a family who appreciates his playful nature and will guide him through his reactive moments with understanding and care. Are you ready to make Thor a part of your family? Reach out to adopt@joyfulpets.com to start your journey with this incredible companion!
