Thorin<\/p>\n

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.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Descriptions also recommend a home for Thorin without children, but he has experience living alongside other dogs.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Thorin is currently available for adoption, and he\u2019s also eligible for the shelter\u2019s April adoption promotion<\/a>, which is waiving adoption fees for all dogs 25 pounds and over. He\u2019s also available as part of the shelter\u2019s foster-to-adopt program<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n
