Thorin

Thorin has been at OC Animal Care in Tustin for a little over a month after coming in as a stray. Staff notations say he can be shy and fearful when meeting new people, and he responds best when approached with a gentle speaking voice. 

Descriptions also recommend a home for Thorin without children, but he has experience living alongside other dogs. 

Thorin is currently available for adoption, and he’s also eligible for the shelter’s April adoption promotion, which is waiving adoption fees for all dogs 25 pounds and over. He’s also available as part of the shelter’s foster-to-adopt program
