Update: Thora tested Negative on her recent Heartworm test, she will need to be retested in 6 months. The vet says her ideal weight should be 75-80 pounds, looks like she will be going on a diet! The vet also recommends a Help Em Up Harness to assist with stairs. Sweet Senior Lady Seeks Retirement Home Hi I’m Thora! I am looking for a quiet, comfy home to live out my senior years--not too many stairs please! I love my humans and prefer to be with them rather than other dogs. I don’t like sharing my space or my humans with other dogs-- I can be a little alpha you know. I love to snuggle on the sofa with my humans and sometimes I like to throw toys around to show off for my foster mom. I am house and crate-trained but prefer not to be in a crate. I promise I am trustworthy in the house! I have been around cats and don’t pay much attention to them, but for some reason they are often scared of me. My foster mom says I can’t be around small furry pets because I might mistake them for snacks. Like many older pups, I have some age-related health problems. I don’t see or hear well, not much at all in fact. I have weak hips so stairs can be difficult for me. I have started taking a daily joint supplement and will be going to the vet this week to get some anti-inflammatory medication. Also, I am heartworm positive and take monthly heartworm medication. I will need to be on these supplements and medications for the rest of my life. I hope you can look past these small things and see that I’m a great companion! My foster mom has a few things to say too. Thora is about 10 years old and 90 pounds. She needs to watch her weight to avoid putting extra stress on her hips. Thora is just as sweet as she can be and loves all humans but needs supervision around small children. Due to her vision problems, she sometimes bumps into things and could inadvertently knock down a child. Thora is fine with other dogs out in the yard and in limited doses as long as they are respectful, but would ultimately do best as an only dog or with one large dog, preferably an older male. Thora is being fostered near Front Royal, Virginia. Approved adopters can contact their caseworker or email info@shenandoahrescue.org to contact her foster mom.
