Thor

Mixed Breed · Male

PS FE, born: 10/16 male dog. On the Finca since 10/2025. Thor and his buddies Leonardo and Bernie came from a seizure. His owner also simply abandoned the old hound dame Ginny. Thor lived in a cramped space with ten other dogs, they were fed, but the supply was minimized. The animals got noodles and lentils as food and hard, old bread, which the owners claimed would clean their teeth. When our shelter Finca Esquinzo learned of the seizure and there was space to take in a few Bardinos, they went to Perrera. At first, they only took Bernie, but a week later, they also picked up Leonardo and Thor. Finally arriving at Finca Esquinzo, Thor moved into a generous enclosure with Luna, where he feels very comfortable. Finally, he can run big laps and has a task (although, as a guard dog, he only impresses with his size by wagging his tail to greet any intruder, we only say behind "a hidden hand"). Thor is a strong, loving, cuddly, and extremely friendly hound pup who simply wants to do everything right. In a short time, he understood where his feeding spot is and always runs straight there when his bowl is filled in the morning. He also has a good grasp of sitting. Loud noise and commotion do not suit him; then he becomes unsure and hides. With other companions, he is friendly, but he does not want to play yet. He is also a very clean dog and only does his business outside. The friendly senior would be very happy to have loving people who give him the chance for a beautiful old age. He has no big demands, he simply wants to experience the sweet life in a family again with people who care for him. A fenced yard, a few walks, many strokes, and the treasure would be happy. Due to his appearance and fur markings, we assume that Thor is a Barino mix – unfortunately, a definite confirmation is not available. Barinos belong to the herding dogs of the Canaries and are used there as herding, guard, and companion dogs. The corresponding protective instinct should be taken into consideration and not underestimated during adoption. Once one has the trust and love of a Barino, one gets a loyal friend for life. Thor can be microchipped, fully vaccinated, and tested for Mediterranean diseases to move to his new home right away. Who has a heart for seniors and gives Thor a place at their side?

PS FE, geb: 10/16 Rüde. Auf der Fin­ca seit 10/2025. Thor und sei­ne Kum­pel Leo­nar­do und Ber­nie kom­men aus einer Beschlag­nah­mung. Sein Besit­zer hat auch die alte Hun­de­da­me Gin­ny ein­fach aus­ge­setzt. Thor leb­te in einem engem Raum zusam­men mit 10 wei­te­ren Hun­den, sie wur­den zwar ver­pflegt, aber die Ver­sor­gung war auf ein Mini­mum beschränkt. Die Tie­re beka­men Nudeln und Lin­sen als Fut­ter und har­tes, altes Brot, das laut den Besit­zern, die Zäh­ne bes­tens rei­ni­gen wür­de. Als unse­re Pfle­ge­stel­le Fin­ca Esquin­zo von der Beschlag­nah­mung erfuhr und Platz frei war, um ein paar Bar­di­nos auf­zu­neh­men, fuh­ren sie in die Per­rera. Zunächst nah­men sie nur Ber­nie mit, aber eine Woche spä­ter hol­ten sie auch Leo­nar­do und Thor ab. End­lich auf der Fin­ca Esquin­zo ange­kom­men, zog Thor zu Luna in ein groß­zü­gi­ges Gehe­ge, wo er sich sehr wohl fühlt. End­lich kann er gro­ße Run­den lau­fen und hat eine Auf­ga­be (obwohl, als Wach­hund beein­druckt er nur mit sei­ner Grö­ße, dass er jeden Ein­dring­ling mit wedeln­dem Schwanz begrüßt, erzäh­len wir nur hin­ter „vor­ge­hal­te­ner Hand“). Thor ist ein kräf­ti­ger, lie­be­vol­ler, schmu­si­ger und über­aus freund­li­cher Hun­de­opa, der ein­fach nur alles rich­tig machen will. In kür­zes­ter Zeit hat er ver­stan­den wo sein Fut­ter­platz ist und läuft immer schnur­stracks dahin, wenn mor­gens sein Napf gefüllt wird. Das Sitz hat er auch schon sehr gut im Griff. Viel Lärm und Rum­mel liegt ihm nicht, dann wird er unsi­cher und ver­kriecht sich. Mit ande­ren Art­ge­nos­sen ist er freund­lich, spie­len will er aber (noch) nicht. Er ist auch ein sehr sau­be­rer Hund und macht sei­ne Not­durft nur drau­ßen. Der freund­li­che Seni­or wür­de sich sehr über lie­be Men­schen freu­en, die ihm die Chan­ce auf einen schö­nen Lebens­abend bie­ten. Er hat kei­ne gro­ßen Ansprü­che, möch­te ein­fach nur noch ein­mal das süße Leben in einer Fami­lie, mit Men­schen, die ihm zuge­tan sind, erle­ben. Ein ein­ge­zäun­tes Grund­stück, ein paar Spa­zier­gän­ge, vie­le Strei­chel­ein­hei­ten und der Schatz wäre glück­lich. Auf­grund sei­nes äuße­ren Erschei­nungs­bil­des und der Fell­zeich­nung gehen wir davon aus, dass es sich bei Thor um einen Bar­di­no-Misch­ling han­delt – eine genaue Bestä­ti­gung liegt lei­der nicht vor. Bar­di­nos gehö­ren zu den Hüte­hun­den der Kana­ren und wer­den dort als Hüte‑, Wach- und Begleit­hun­de ein­ge­setzt. Der ent­spre­chen­de Schutz­trieb soll­te bei der Adop­ti­on berück­sich­tigt und nicht unter­schätzt wer­den. Hat man ein­mal das Ver­trau­en und die Lie­be eines Bar­di­nos gewon­nen, bekommt man einen treu­en und loya­len Freund fürs Leben. Thor kann ab sofort gechipt, kom­plett durch­ge­impft und auf Mit­tel­meer­krank­hei­ten getes­tet in sein neu­es Zuhau­se aus­rei­sen. Wer hat ein Herz für Senio­ren und schenkt Thor einen Platz an sei­ner Sei­te?

About Thor

What life with Thor looks like

Thor is a very small adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierhilfe Fuerteventura in Dransfeld.

An 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 Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.

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. Tierhilfe Fuerteventura 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 — Tierhilfe Fuerteventura 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
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 Tierhilfe Fuerteventura 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 (DE). 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.
