Thor

Male · Young · 3 years

Meet Thor: A gentle treasure who dreams of a safe and loving home! The story of handsome Thor will touch your heart. Thor was rescued from a public shelter along with another dog, where they ended up after being taken away from their former owner who unfortunately mistreated them. In Romania, black dogs have it especially tough and are often overlooked. Fortunately, Thor was brought to safety in time by Delia and is now in the shelter. Thor is a young man with a very fine, light built medium size of about 38 cm tall and only 9 kg. He has left his bad past behind and is ready to discover how beautiful life can be. We are looking for a loving adoption home or a warm foster home (foster family) in the Netherlands for him.

Maak kennis met Thor: Een zachte schat die droomt van een veilig en liefdevol thuis! Het verhaal van de knappe Thor laat niemand onberoerd. Thor werd samen met een ander hondje gered uit de public shelter, waar ze waren beland nadat ze weggehaald werden bij hun voormalige baas die hen helaas mishandelde. In Roemenië hebben zwarte hondjes het extra zwaar en worden ze vaak over het hoofd gezien. Gelukkig is Thor op tijd in veiligheid gebracht door Delia en verblijft hij nu in de opvang. Thor is een jonge man met een heel fijn, licht gebouwd middelformaat van circa 38 cm hoog en slechts 9 kilo. Hij heeft zijn nare verleden achter zich gelaten en staat klaar om te ontdekken hoe mooi het leven kan zijn. We zoeken voor hem een liefdevol adoptiehuis óf een warm opvanggezin (gastgezin) in Nederland.

About Thor

What life with Thor looks like

Thor is a medium-sized young adult dog waiting at Stichting Lucky Dogs Rescue in Meppel (NL-wide).

A young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇳🇱Adopting from Netherlands

Dutch shelters typically require a household assessment and an adoption contract. Animals are routinely sterilized, microchipped, and registered in the national pet database (NDG) before placement.

Frequently asked

Adopting Thor, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Thor?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Stichting Lucky Dogs Rescue handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Thor on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Thor if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Stichting Lucky Dogs Rescue will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Thor already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Thor isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Stichting Lucky Dogs Rescue early rather than rehoming privately; they know Thor and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (NL). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
