Looking for a Home: Thor - Borzoi Russian Wolfhound

Facebook Twitter

If you're thinking you might like a pet while you are in Korea - either permanently or to foster - there are a number of cats and dogs looking for homes. Korea4Expats.com is introducing to one of these below:

Animal Name : Thor
City/Location : Asan Shelter
Breed : Borzoi Russian Wolfhound
Sex : Male
Spayed / Neutered : No
Age : 2-3 years old
Size : Extra Large

Health status/ vaccinations : Tested negative for heart worm, parvo, and distemper! He is very underweight right now and his eyes look like they could use some antibiotics but other than that he seems to be very healthy.

Behaviour/Personality : Thor was rescued from a kill shelter in Busan and brought to the Asan shelter. He has a very loving and friendly personality. When Thor stands up and gives you a hug, he is all tall as me, at 5 ft 6 in! True to his breed, he carries himself in a very dignified manner, galloping along like a pony. He will make a very polite, quite, and well mannered companion if someone can give him a second chance! He LOVES to run and will need an owner who will take him out for daily runs or to the dog park where he can gallop around. He gets along fine with medium to large size dogs but seems interested in chasing small dogs. He is a sight hound after all so he would probably do best in a home without small animals. I have read about this breed and although Thor is so large and powerful, he should do well in an apartment as long as he is exercised daily. Borzoi's have undemanding personalities in the home and are well mannered in that they aren't destructive, don't generally bark, and love to lounge on the couch. Of course a house with a yard would be ideal, but as far as large breeds go, Borzoi's are known to do well in small houses when provided with daily exercise outside of the home. Thor is calm but also very powerful, so he requires an owner who has researched the breed and will be able to provide assertive and consistent training.

Currently, Thor is living in a small cage on the side of the mountain at the Asan shelter. He is only played with once a week when ARK volunteers visit  He is so underweight and in need of some TLC! If you are interested in saving Thor, please fill out the adoption form on the ARK site (for links to ARK and other rescue organisation visit the K4E page on Adopting or Fostering Pets in Korea and send it to
ash_barrett05@yahoo.com, ansauvage@yahoo.ca, and katherine-hall@hotmail.com.

If you can't commit to a lifetime with Thor, but still want to help, consider fostering him! It would mean the world to him.
 
Adoption fee: 50,000 won to the Asan shelter
