Thor's Story

From his foster family: Thor is a big, handsome, affectionate fellow. He loves to roll onto his back and show you his belly, although he doesn't love belly rubs (fake out!). He looooves to be scratched where his tail meets his lower back, so much so that he will do a full downward facing dog pose to give you a better angle. He also loves to be scratched on his head and neck. He likes to pace and stalk close to you while you are working, but he doesn't want to sit in your lap or be picked up. He prefers dry food to wet, and he loves to climb. His favorite spot in our house is the top of his cat tree.<br/><br/>He will hide from any new person, but will accept pets after a short "getting to know you" period, as long as you don't ambush him. We don't know how he is with cats. He calmly keeps his distance from our little foster dog.
