About Thornton

Thornton is a lovable dog with an estimated age of around 4 to 5 years and a sturdy weight of approximately 60 pounds. He is often referred to as a gentle giant due to his calm demeanor and affectionate nature. Thornton is incredibly friendly and treats everyone he meets as a potential friend, showcasing his warm personality. In terms of training, Thornton demonstrates good manners and walks well on a leash, making him an ideal companion for leisurely strolls. He is familiar with the 'sit' command and may have knowledge of additional commands, which indicates that he could easily learn new behaviors with positive reinforcement. One of Thornton's favorite activities is receiving attention. He adores being petted and will seek out companionship from anyone willing to give it. Notably, he has a playful tendency to 'sing' and engage in conversation, bringing joy and amusement to those around him. Thornton recently enjoyed a soothing bath, especially when the water temperature was just right. He stands patiently for grooming sessions, turning willingly to allow for thorough scrubbing on both sides, emphasizing his trusting and amiable nature. Being picked up as a stray means that we don't have a complete history for Thornton, but we can certainly attest to his charm and good behavior. He is up to date on his vaccinations, neutered, and has tested negative for heartworm, which ensures that he is healthy and ready for his next adventure with a loving family. This gentleman of a dog is eager to find a forever home where he can continue to share his gentle spirit and loving nature. **Interested in adopting?** To take the first step towards bringing this lovely girl into your home, please complete our online application at https://www.guernseycountydogshelter.com/ or click the round purple button to access it.
