UPDATE: After Over 100 Days In The Shelter, Thor Has His Forever Home

BRANFORD, CT — After months and months of waiting, good dog Thor, just a pup actually, has finally been adopted.

"WHO IS READY FOR SOME AMAZING NEWS !! Not 1, not 2, not 3 but 4 ADOPTIONS HAVE HAPPENED IN THE LAST FEW WEEKS! Thor found himself a forever home… yaaayyyy Thor we are so very happy for you!"

Original story:

Thor waits and waits. But no one ever comes. It's been more than 100 days in. He watches as his shelter mates leave with their new families. But no one shows up for him. He's sad, the staff at the Dan Cosgrove Animal Shelter shared.

"After thousands of shares and a few applications, there’s still no one for Thor," the Facebook post reads. "People filled out applications and sound so interested, but then never show up to meet him. Thor continues to watch other dogs get adopted, but still he sits here day after day. He needs a home. He needs people to both apply and show up to do meet and greets."

Young and healthy, he was born to breed. Then what?

"He was brought into this world from a backyard breeder just so they could make money. Once he was sold, his people didn’t think about the next 18 years of what life would look like with a dog, and he became 'too much' and ended up here," the animal shelter post reads. "It’s just not fair."

Thor is a vaccinated, microchipped and neutered two-year-old cattle dog-English setter mix.

"He’s nearing 102 days," staff wrote on June 9, "dealing with shelter life. He’s sad and he’s had enough."

One of the first times folks met Thor virtually, was in early March when the shelter shared his story. A month later, in April, another try on Facebook to find him a home. Nothing. In May, the same.

It's June. He's still waiting, hoping.

The ideal home for Thor would be with family who ideally have a fenced in yard (he has a ton of energy and does 'zoomies'), enjoy the outdoors, like hiking, with active middle school-age kids or older, and maybe a cat —"He’s met cats and done really well."

At the very least, it's hoped that an application comes in that leads to a meet and greet.
