Thor von Thema is a stunning 18 month old German Shepherd.  This intelligent boy has a quiet confidence that shows in his bearing as he walks right at your side during your strolls through the neighborhood.  Cars slow down and people look twice at this well-behaved guy who is looking to please you and quickly learning his obedience commands.  At times Thor still acts like a puppy; he likes making you laugh at his antics.  He socializes well with people and  loves to run and play with other dogs.  Because of a heart defect, Thor would have been put down by a shelter had Westside not rescued him and provided the necessary corrective surgery.  Now he looks and acts perfectly normal and, with the help of ongoing maintenance medication, should lead a regular life (no jogging or mountain climbing, however).  This boy's heart remains full of love and devotion for the forever family he knows will come to adopt him.
